Against a background of lavender and gray, this stylized painting by Creek and Cherokee artist Joan Hill depicts an indigenous woman in a vibrant pink and purple flowing gown, seemingly floating amidst swirling ribbons and abstract shapes, conveying a sense of movement and liberation. Hill was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma and attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in education, then taught art at a junior high school for four years. While still teaching, she took art classes at the Philbrook Museum and ultimately decided to devote herself full-time to art. Hill had not been raised in a traditional Native American household. Although she wanted to paint Native American subjects, she worried that she lacked knowledge about her culture, so her father agreed to teach her the Creek legends that he had been taught by his father and grandfather. Painting in a variety of styles – realism, expressionism, abstract expressionism – as well as using traditional Native American artistic techniques, Hill frequently experimented with media, using oil, tempera, water color, pastel, ink, and mixed media. Although she often drew on her heritage, focusing on Creek and Cherokee subjects, she also drew inspiration from other Native American cultures. Unlike many Native American artists, Joan Hill did not pursue a career in art education although she had many offers to teach in universities across the country. She found that her early four years of teaching left little time for her own art. Hill has received more than 270 awards for her artwork. In 1974, the Five Civilized Tribes Museum designated her a Master Artist, the first female to be given this honor. The Smithsonian Institution designated her one of the “People of the Century.” Her career has been an inspiration for both female and Native American artists for decades.
