Industry
Industry and manual labor became popular themes in Mildred's work during the 1930s Depression. Those hard economic times led her to produce variations of her workers theme during her three years in Boulder. Her oil paintings such as “Power Plant,” and more variations on “Steelworkers,” fulfilled some of her graduate school study requirements though the family has no recall or record that she completed a Masters in Fine Arts degree.
