Although she specialized in images of
women and children, the painter and illustrator Olive Rush (1873-1966) also sketched and
painted the American Indians she encountered living in Santa Fe, New Mexico and traveling
throughout the Southwest. As a muralist for the Works Progress Administration (WPA),
she created murals which illustrated scenes of their heritage in Santa Fe.
