scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: The majority of the records in this series document business transactions at the studio and showroom that Wood operated at her home in Ojai, California. This includes account books, general ledgers, cash books, receipts, financial reports, price lists, visitor's logs, tax returns, and inventories of her artwork. A particularly complete record of sales and consignments are also included in this series.

Exhibition files are also arranged in this series and contain extensive documentation of Wood's 1989 exhibition at the Oakland Museum. Although she was best known for her glazed pots, this exhibition featured figurative sculptures and wall pieces that Wood referred to as "sophisticated primatives." The files include correspondence, loan records, financial statements, lists of artwork for consideration, and catalog drafts.

Also contained in this series are correspondence and sales records for the galleries which represented Wood during her career, including Garth Clark Gallery, John Waller Gallery, and Zachary Waller Gallery
