American artist, writer (born 1933) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Betty LaDuke (née Bernstein; born 1933) is an American artist and writer from Oregon.[1] She is the mother of activist Winona LaDuke.
LaDuke was born in the Bronx, New York, in 1933. Her family spoke Yiddish.[2] She attended the High School of Music and Art in New York starting at age sixteen, and later studied at Denver University, the Cleveland Institute of Art.[1] In the fifties she received a scholarship which allowed her to study art at Mexico's Instituto Allende from 1953 through 1956.[1][3] During her time in Mexico she lived with the Indigenous Otomi, whose concern with the preservation of their heritage profoundly influenced LaDuke's work.[3]
LaDuke's work is held by the Portland Art Museum.[5]
