An Interview with Dr. Mary Jo Watson Director, School of Art and Art History / Regents Professor of Art History KGOU Radio Interview by Brant Morrell • April 17, 2013 Twenty years ago, a degree in Native American Art and Art History was non-existent. Even today, only a few universities offer Native Art programs, but at the University of Oklahoma Mary Jo Watson is responsible for launching a groundbreaking art program with an emphasis on the indigenous perspective.

    Artist's Statement "...All of my work, whether traditional or contem­ porary, owes a debt to my Creek-Cherokee heritage for the teachings of my beloved parents and grand­ parents give a base or sustenance to my work. I was also taught to have a deep, spiritual faith in God, a love and respect for the land, nature, the elements and the powers of creation, with a feeling for the eternal and the monumen­ tal. Consequently, I am inexorably drawn to the beauty, illusion and mystery of Native American legends and history, which serve as inspiration for the images I use to create a world, not as it is "seen," but as it is "felt..."

  • Oral History Interview with Sharron Ahtone Harjo
    Oral History Interview with Sharron Ahtone Harjo Interview Conducted by Julie Pearson-Little Thunder September 6, 2014 Spotlighting Oklahoma Oral History Project Oklahoma Oral History Research Program Edmon Low Library ● Oklahoma State University © 2014 Spotlighting Oklahoma Oral History Project Interview History Interviewer: Julie Pearson-Little Thunder Transcriber: Madison Warlick Editors: Julie Pearson-Little Thunder, Micki White The recording and transcript of this interview were processed at the Oklahoma State University Library in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Project Detail The purpose of the Spotlighting Oklahoma Oral History Project is to document the development of the state by recording its cultural and intellectual history. This project was approved by the Oklahoma State University Institutional Review Board on April 15, 2009. Legal Status Scholarly use of the recordings and transcripts of the interview with Sharron Ahtone Harjo is unrestricted. The interview agreement was signed on September 6, 2014. 2 Spotlighting Oklahoma Oral History Project About Sharron Ahtone Harjo… Sharron Ahtone Harjo draws artistic inspiration from a variety of sources: her personal experiences, Kiowa oral traditions, and a family ledger book. She attended school in several states and further expanded her travel experiences as Miss Indian America in 1965. Exposed to art throughout her life, her epiphany came at Bacone Junior College where she studied flat-style painting under Dick West. She was one of the early female Oklahoma painters to delve into ledger art, for which she favors pen and ink, pencil, and prismacolor. Sharron’s passion for making art is matched by a strong passion for teaching. After earning her master’s degree in education, she taught for many years in the Edmond public schools.
