| | Born in Colorado on Sept. 29, 1907. Mrs. Pinheiro moved to southern California in 1942 and settled in the Antelope Valley. Her love of the area inspired her to record the hundreds of desert flowers in the valley. At her studio on Quartz Hill in Lancaster, her pen sketches were meticulously transformed into watercolors. For several years she taught handicrafts at the Vocational Institution in Lancaster before her death there on Oct. 14, 1978.
