About the artist: Carol Theroux (1930-2021, Los Angeles, CA) One of America's most admired painters of the Native American Indian, Carol Theroux is widely known for the sensitivity and authenticity of her work. Drawing inspiration from her own Cherokee heritage, she portrayed the traditional values of Native American life, paying tribute to their noble past in her portraits, collectible plates, and Native American porcelain dolls. Her work can also be found in Leanin’ Tree’s special collection of Native American greeting cards. Carol's figurative portrayals of late 1800's women in their long bustled dresses, grand hats, transport the viewer to another place in time. Occasionally you will find a rare depiction of horses or an exquisitely detailed still life, but you will know they are Carol's by the deft handling of this difficult medium.
