Darlene Olivia McElroy
I am a storyteller by birth and could never resist the power of a pencil or crayon to give vision to the tales floating in my imagination and asking to be told. Raised in Southern California, I spent every summer on family ranch in Santa Fe hearing old family stories and folktales. My work is about time and the links that join the individual to the continuum of past, present, and future. In the last six months I have been focused on the wonderful characters of the Southwest and their stories.
