Eva Mirabal (Taos Pueblo) became a serious artist at Santa Fe Indian School, where she studied drawing and painting with Dorothy Dunn and Geronima Montoya. She later joined the Women’s Army Corps and worked full-time as an artist during World War II. After the war, the adventurous woman planned to go to art school in Chicago. But her career fell away in favor of family responsibilities, a harsh reality that made Mirabal miserable. After her death in 1968, her sons found a box of newspaper clippings, letters, and photos that documented her life before they were born. The contents of the box became the basis for a book about her life.
