This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| A painter and etcher, Zella De Milhau was a student of William Merritt Chase at his summer school at Shinnecock, Long Island. In 1904, she settled at Shinnecock, and became so established that the Shinnecock Indian tribe adopted her, giving her the Indian name of "Chiola", meaning "she who laughs".
