About the Artist

Dolona Roberts attended Colorado College and University of New Mexico where she became influenced by the style of abstract expressionism and representation of Southwest art.

Dolona's trademark is her portrayal of the backs of Indian women draped in colorful in intricately designed blankets. A characteristic common to her images in the "Plaza Women" is that the faces of the Indians are always turned away from the observer. This expresses the mystical quality of the Pueblo Indian rituals and designates that the viewer is a spector rather than a paricipant in these ceremonies.

Dolona's honors and accolades abound, including the Artist of the Year Award from the "Santa Fean", and the Prix de Paris granted by a jury of New York critics.
