Tracy SeidmanTracy Seidman (1951-2023) was an award-winning artist and illustrator, as well as the longtime manager of a working cattle ranch for 50 years. She is renowned for her pine needle baskets, embellished with beadwork, flint, and porcupine quills, create in the authentic Native American tradition, as well as for uniquely creative maps of Southwestern ranches. The divorced parent of two adult children, she spent most of her adult life on the Wagon Mound Ranch in remote northeastern New Mexico, outside the small village of Wagon Mound. It is there she was buried after succumbing to an inoperable brain cancer in August 2023, just before this book was completed. These illustrations are among the last works of art she created.
