Dolly Barnes, Passamaquoddy artist

Dolly Barnes learned to make baskets from her mother, Molly Neptune Parker (1939-2020), an award-winning basketmaker who was the recipient of a 2012 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellow and First People Fund’s Community Spirit Award. Dolly started making baskets as a child, using scraps that she found. Over time, her mother taught her fancy basket styles passed down in their family for generations, especially flowertop baskets. Dolly continues to make these styles as well as vases, tall open cylinder baskets, knitting baskets, button baskets, and forms ornamented with curlwork and sweetgrass braid.
