Beverly Petek, known as Poko Petek, became a respected painter of Southwestern Native American sacred tribal ceremonies. Her work has appeared in Arizona Highways Magazine (1972) and on the cover of a Grolier publication, The Science Yearbook (1969) and other art publications.
Invited to Southwestern Indian ceremonial dances, she could not photograph them, so she sketched the "snake dances" and "rain dances" from memory.
Petek lived in Phoenix, Arizona and traveled (showing 500 of 3729 characters). |
