The Amish and Mennonite communities of the Shenandoah Valley began to appear in her paintings soon after she moved to Waynesboro in 1964.1
Some prints show particular places in Pennsylvania. The publisher says the store in The Old Country Store (1990) is part of the People’s Place Amish Museum, and that the Hans Herr House, of A Ride to the Hans Herr House (2005), was built in 1719 and is one of the oldest standing Mennonite meeting houses, in Lancaster County.23

How to identify these prints
Her publisher explains the numbering. The number is usually written in the lower margin in the form X/YY: the print’s own number over the size of the edition. “AP” before the number marks an artist’s proof.11
The signature may not be by hand. Her publisher says limited-edition prints are typically signed by the artist or carry a mechanically applied signature, put on by a signing machine called an Autopen. The year of publication is typically put near the signature, with a © symbol beside it.11
The publisher’s shop gives edition sizes in the form “1,000 and 25 artist’s proofs”. One thousand is the usual figure on the pages we read. A dealer says editions were once almost always a thousand and are now more often about 250.21213
