Mary Sully—born Susan Mabel Deloria on the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota—was a little-known, reclusive Yankton Dakota artist who, between the 1920s and 1940s, created highly distinctive work informed by her Native American and settler ancestry. Working without patronage, in near obscurity, and largely self-taught, Sully produced intricately designed and vividly colored drawings.
