Dolly Taylor (b. 1938) learned to make baskets when she was 10 years old from her mother, renowned Cherokee basket weaver Julia Ann Ned Taylor (1902-1991). Her sisters--Rachel Taylor, Sally Taylor Wade, and Pauline Junaluska--were all accomplished basket makers. The Taylor family specialized in white oak baskets, a craft common to the Appalachian mountains. In 1978 the Indian Arts and Crafts Board organized an exhibition, at the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual artisan cooperative, that featured baskets made by the entire Taylor family. In this undated photograph by an unknown photographer, Dolly Taylor appears on the right.
