Dyanne Strongbow (1951- )

Dyanne Strongbow, (Dyanne Weber Strongbow), Choctaw, Strongbow was born in Texas and received her education there. Dyanne received a B.A. from the Southwestern Texas State University. She moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"A native of Austin, Strongbow's earliest paintings were of the Texas landscape, in 1972, she started painting Native American subjects. She is known for her use of negative space, which, she explains, she uses to prevent the painting from becoming too cluttered with detail. She portrays the present and past as well as the sometimes forgotten lifestyles of many tribes. She does composites and overlapping subjects, and uses subtle washes" -Art of the West, July/Aug 1990
