Lonewolf DonatesPapers
The Labriola Center is pleased to announce the first installment of the acquisition of a 5th generation American Indian
clay artist, Rosemary Apple Blossom Lonewolf. She has been a recipient of an ASU Fellowship and is currently a Chandler
resident. Her roots are in New Mexico's Santa Clara Pueblo, where her family includes a number of well-known artists:
great grandmother, Sara Fina Tafoya; grandfather, Camilio Sunflower Tafoya; father, Joseph Lonewolf; and an aunt, Grace
Medicine Flower.
Ms. Lonewolf, who has exhibited at both the Heard Museum and the Smithsonian Institution, is noted for
her finely incised seed pots, which often combine both modern and ancient themes.
Recently, she has been creating
mural-sized works of art in clay and her series of tiles depicting American Indians participating in modern day sports are an
integral part of the Chandler YMCA.

A basketball player and gymnast are two of these figures, which have been adapted

Lonewolf is also working on a series of tiles for the Boyce Thompson Arboretum featuring the hummingbird. "As a pollinator," she says,

downtown Tucson.
