"The Indian Treaty" diptych is on the surface a highly evocative image of the white man and the Indian shaking hands in some form of agreement. It certainly was chosen just for that reaction of another treaty to be broken. It challenges our preconceived notions of history. We know most if not all treaties were broken and this certainly addresses that naive moment. But I was given this image as a new paper photo from the 1960s. It was my friend's great-uncle who was the head of Indian affairs for New Mexico. He was retiring and the Indians put on a pow-wow for him as a goodbye party. I loved this shot and created a diptych to capture everyone involved. I chose to paint the white men while using photographs of the actual faces of the Indians. It seems appropriate to reverse this notion of an Indian-painted face to a documentary one. There are "easter eggs" hidden in the painting. Outlines of the Very Large Array that is iconic of New Mexico as well as an outline of a windmill. The petroglyph is an image of an alien spaceship given to me by a UFO hunter I came across traveling in the southwest. This painting is part of my American Bones Series a body of work investigating perceptions of American identity.

Zannah Noe is a contemporary mixed-media artist. She takes her cues from architecture, abstraction and atmosphere to depict the anatomy of place. She migrates images through multiple processes, starting with photography and utilizing image transfers, stencils or a silkscreen. She employs representation and abstract expressionism while fusing photography and mark-making elements with more traditional techniques in her oil and acrylic works. Her work has gorgeous, lush colors that make a vibrant abstract foundation that often comes through translucent image transfers. Her artwork focuses on larger social injustices of housing, urban planning and cultural identities. Inspiration is often pulled from her digital archive of many road trips across America, along with her influences from graphic design and photography. The work explores the American vernacular and its iconography. Ms. Noe formally studied photography under the well-known photographer Carrie Mae Weems at Hampshire College. She then took courses in multimedia design at San Francisco City College. She later studied privately with master painter Doug Schneider in San Francisco. She uses her design, photography and politics in her artwork to find the beauty and purpose that leverages this creative process to become the framework of her artwork. With its multilayered metaphors, vibrant colors and bold abstractions, Noe’s works are a daring, chaotic reflection of the complexity of the identity of place.
