After majoring in art at Southern Methodist University, Jean Rodgers Oliver (1916-1968) worked as a senior draftsman during World War II before pursuing a career as a professional photographer, earning several awards. She studied briefly under A. Cypen Lubitsch, but was mostly self-taught. Her photos appeared in various national magazines including Art Photography and Modern Photography. In 1950 she transferred her activities to Albuquerque and this book is the result of her excitement over New Mexico. In the 1960s she served as staff photographer for the New Mexico Architect.
