October Artists of the Month

Stockbridge Library welcomes the work of Terri OConnor and Rebecca Burr in their October art
exhibit Honor and Hope: Two Mohican Artists. Both artists are enrolled members of the
Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Band, located in Bowler, Wisconsin.

Artist Terri OConnor grew up on the Stockbridge Indian Reservation, inspired by the celebratory
gatherings of Native Powwows and a generation wrapped in their passion of honor and hope.
Terri OConnor is also a participant of the United States Department of Interior Indian Arts and
Crafts Board where she assists with the promotion of authentic Native American arts and crafts.
Rebecca Burr is a self-taught artist who began painting in oil at age twelve. Growing up on the
Red River in Wisconsin, which is where she lives today, she developed a personal connection
with Mother Earth that resonates throughout her work.

The exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours from October 1 to 31, and is
supported by a grant from the Stockbridge Cultural Council.
