Printed after the artist's death.  This portfolio, using the artist's original linoleum blocks, was completed posthumously in 1994 after the artist's death in 1989. On the verso of the support is the posthumous petroglyph design of the Earth and Sun artist's symbol.
This print includes three of Helen's favorite themes: the Ranchos church, Taos Mountain and horses. This is a side of the church that is not often seen; usually it is seen with Picuris Mountain.
