Overall: Results of core policies checked as shown on template. Commentary: article has already been picked up on several wiki mirror sites. I signed off on the given hook despite unavoidable ambiguity caused by the fact that the artist was painting one of a pair of murals; succeeding sentences clarify the situation, and are also cited. ALT1 may be truer, but it seems trivial and tangential to this artist's life. Graphic in article was supplied by nominator via donation to WikiCommons—a commendable act of charity.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:33, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Non-DYK commentary: To this staunch chronologist, the overall form of the article seems strange in separating her art life with her "real" life. Note: this comment has naught to do with DYK (dis)approval.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:33, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
