"Nearly lost, Mary Sully’s discovered drawings riff on Modernist geometries and Dakota Sioux beadwork & quilting."
When she died in Omaha, Neb., in 1963, at age 67, her primary output of around 200 color-pencil-&-ink drawings lay hidden in a cardboard box kept by her older sister, w/ whom she had lived most of her adult life
In 2006, the drawings…came to the attention of Sully’s great-nephew, a history professor at Harvard
