Overview

Annie Quam Gasper (1927–2002) was a Zuni artist active from the 1950s until 2002 — a long working life that Hougart fills out unusually well. Her documented range covers needlepoint, channel and mosaic inlay, and a spider web design, with some early bead work. She was a student of Horace Iule and worked at C. G. Wallace in the 1950s. She was a sister of Ellen Quandelacy, and a multiple award winner.
