Mamie Deschillie is often regarded to as a folk art
superstar. Deschillie is known for her pioneering use of
such raw materials as mud, wool, and turquoise as well as
discarded long johns. She delights museum audiences the
world over with her sense of vagary and her theatrical
presentation of Navajo life. Deschillie's cardboard cutouts
are her finest work. her mud toys, though often wonderful,
are unfired and extremely fragile. Two of Deschillie large
cardboard cutouts were included in an exhibition at the
Collection de l'Art Brut is Lausanne, Switzerland and her
cutouts, mud toys and collage paintings were featured in a
traveling exhibition organized by the Cedar Rapids Museum of
Art, "Contemporary Art of the Navajo Nation". Her work has
also been included in a number of other museum shows,
including ones at the Wheelwright Museum of American Indian,
and the Museum of Northern Arizona.
