Anne Greenwood

• Anne Greenwood, Portland, Oregon artist grew up in Jamestown and Dickinson.

• Her show is a small installation. Winter Counts were calendars used by the Plains Indians to record time pictographically. Greenwood uses this Plains Indian tradition to record her own personal history using hand-stitched embroidery. She then reproduced these textiles in a handmade artist’s portfolio of prints which can be displayed also.
