Native American Spirituality-a philosophical search for truth through Native American teachings. The full-color cover is a reproduction of her own self-portrait painting entitled, "Me, Looking". The book is a limited signed and numbered 1st edition of 1150.
Susan Thomas Underwood holds a BAE from Oklahoma State University and a MLS degree from the University of Oklahoma. She spent the first 17 years of her career teaching art in public schools and illustrating for wildlife and domestic animal magazines/publications. She is well published in that field, and also in Native American art circles. She is one of the featured artist in the Native Peoples Art Calendar for the year 2000.
Known as the "Indian Philosopher" for the narratives that accompany her paintings, Susan began to write the words without the art in 1997. Her words eventually became her 1st book, WALK WITH SPIRIT: A Native American Approach To Spirituality (also offered on amazon.com). This 2nd book continues the Native American spiritual theme, with more of a Shawnee (her tribal affiliation) focus.
