Here's an Native American artist that I discovered in my mix media painting class last year. She was the inspiration for my finial project in that class. I developed 4 large paintings based on her style of work but I added figures to my paintings which came out very well.
I thought you guys would enjoy looking at her work. Here's a website with some of her work on it:
