The prints are also signed by artist Rick Herter who was selected from 100 artists for this print program. This is a powerful and emotional set.

Swan River Original Painting On Silk By Nanc Lot #405 (Sale Order 4 of 75) Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey's portraits and landscapes are sensual and bold, uplifting, and distinctly contemporary in their flair. They reflect the expansive vision of an artist who lives in Bigfork, Montana, and draws upon the rich cultures of France, England and the Middle East where she traveled and lived for many years. An internationalist at heart, Cawdrey uses German brushes to paint French dyes across Chinese silk. She gives the refined tradition of silk painting a more rambunctious edge, and she delights in exploring the symbolic power of the American West: cowboys and cowgirls, wildlife and grand vistas. Last year, Nancy's quick-draw sold for $17,000 at Elk Camp! Nancy has contributed more than $18,000 to the Elk Foundation's Business Partners in Conservation program.

Antique Squash Blossom Necklace & Earrings Lot #407 (Sale Order 6 of 75) This antique squash blossom set was generously donated by John and Alice Taylor RMEF Life Members and Nampa, Idaho Chapter Committee Members. The beautiful solid sterling silver and turquoise squash blossom necklace and earrings were made in the 1950s and given to Charlotte Eldridge, from Phoenix, Arizona. Charlotte was a prominent television star and champion of Native American rights. The squash blossom necklace is said to have design influence all the way back to the 1500-1600s and the Spanish Conquistidors, but most of the design can be recognized within the last 150 years. The style portrays the close interaction between the Pueblo and Navajo Indians since the mid-1800s. The necklace design itself is said to be Navajo, adopted by the Zuni; yet the incorporation of turquoise on each of the blossoms is said to be the Zuni's influence later adopted by the Navajo.

Pioneer Original Painting By Larry Zabel Lot #434 (Sale Order 33 of 75) Montana artist Larry Zabel felt the most fitting way to celebrate RMEF 20th Anniversary was to honor RMEF's first acquisition project.

JUNIPER COFFEE TABLE & END TABLES Lot #476 (Sale Order 74 of 75) The tops of this unique and rustic set of furniture are made of western juniper root with the legs selected from twisted juniper limbs. Creating furniture out of juniper root is a labor of love mainly due to the amount of time it takes to soak and pressure-wash embedded rocks out of the root. But the character of the wood is worth the time. RMEF silver medallions donated by the RMEF Warner Mountain Chapter are inlayed into the pieces. Byron and Chris are ranchers outside of Alturas, California. Byron is also a self-taught auctioneer and has auctioneered at many RMEF and Duck's Unlimited banquets.
