I've always been into Art Deco-Belle Epoch. It was a very cool time period. I think she was just copying this timeframe. And good on the Mormon church for recognizing sweet art.

It was a pretty good discipline.

Maybe a little Art Nouveau influence, but I'm seeing more American Impressionism in her works.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Exactly.

From the the 1900's through the 1940's art was very progressive. Even propaganda was very interesting until we started to parody Communism. Then it become stupid.

If you take a moment and study art from the 1900's through the 1940's you'll see a very unique American artform arise. After the late 40's you'll see a boring and political form arise in our art... Until the 60's...
