Her artwork focuses on portrayals of strong women. She uses art as a medium for activism and raising awareness. Tiger was inducted into the Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame in 2001. BiographyDana Irene Tiger was born in 1961 to Jerome Tiger[1] and Peggy[2] Richmond. Her father was a full blood Indian of Muskogee-Seminole heritage and her mother is a member of the Cherokee Tribe.[3] Tiger's father died of an accidental gunshot wound when she was 5 years old and she was raised by her mother. To promote her father's work, keep his legacy alive, and be taken seriously as an art dealer, Tiger's mother ran the business pretending to be a man. Jerome's brother, Johnny Tiger Jr., acted as family patriarch, told stories of their father to his children, and surrounded them with art.[2] Tiger attended Oklahoma State University from 1981 to 1984 as a student in the College of Arts and Sciences.[4] She later attended Bacone College.[5] Tiger first began painting at age 24, after she left Oklahoma State University.[5] Her themes of strong women grew out of personal experiences of discrimination and tragedy.[6] She uses art as a medium to empower women.[7] Characteristics of her paintings are resilient women depicted in both historical and contemporary leadership positions,[8] usually in watercolor or acrylic.[9] Tiger often combines art work and advocacy, promoting benefits for the AIDS Coalition for Indian Outreach, the American Cancer Society, the National Organization for Women, and the Ozark Literacy Council among others.[8] Native American health is a particular focus.[9] Personal lifeTiger had planned to remain single and dedicate her life to art,[7] but when her brother was murdered in 1990 and her sister was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS two years later, her view of the world changed. She felt that she could honor her siblings by bringing new life into the world.[2] Tiger married Donnie Blair on 7 November 1992. They have two children: a daughter Christie, born 1 September 1993, named after her brother, and a son, Coleman Lisan, born 16 July 1995, named for her sister.[1] Both of her children are award winning artists.[2] In 1999, Tiger was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Soon after her diagnosis, Tiger's sister Lisa was also diagnosed with Parkinson's.[2] In 2002, she founded a non-profit organization, Legacy Cultural Learning Community, to foster arts development for Native youth.[6] Notable WorksTiger's painting We Ride Again was chosen as the cover art for the 2006 Oklahoma Women's Almanac.[10] A collection of Tiger's work was shown as a part of the Oklahoma Painters exhibition at the Grand Palais, Paris in 2011. She was one of 11 Native American artists who was selected to show at the exhibition.[11] Some of Tiger's other notable works include:[1]
