Sally Ann Paschall “Friday’s Wadaduga II” Monotype, Signed

Original monotype print titled Friday’s Wadaduga II by Cherokee artist Sally Ann Paschall.

The work symbolizes transformation and spiritual balance, central themes in Paschall’s practice. Created on handmade paper with natural deckle edges, the monotype reveals her sensitive layering of tone and texture.
