"Ray of Light (Da-Ta-Leu)" is a notable painting by American artist Grace Carpenter Hudson, renowned for her poignant and culturally respectful depictions of Native American life, particularly of the Pomo people. Created in 1910, this artwork exemplifies Hudson's commitment to capturing the nuanced and authentic experiences of the Pomo community, with whom she developed a deep and respectful relationship over her career.

Hudson's "Ray of Light (Da-Ta-Leu)" features a young Pomo girl, bathed in a soft, ethereal light that highlights the delicate features of her face and the intricate details of her traditional attire. The title, "Da-Ta-Leu," translates to "Ray of Light," which not only describes the visual effect in the painting but also metaphorically underscores the innocence and purity of the subject. The painting is celebrated for its technical proficiency, particularly Hudson's masterful use of light and shadow, which brings a lifelike quality to the portrait.

Grace Carpenter Hudson was born in 1865 in Potter Valley, California, and grew up in a family that encouraged her artistic talents. She studied at the San Francisco School of Design and later became a prolific painter, producing over 684 numbered works throughout her lifetime. Her deep empathy and respect for the Pomo people are evident in her art, which often served as a counter-narrative to the stereotypical and often dehumanizing portrayals of Native Americans prevalent during her time.

"Ray of Light (Da-Ta-Leu)" is housed in the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California, which is dedicated to preserving and showcasing her extensive body of work. The museum also serves as a cultural and educational resource, providing insights into the lives and traditions of the Pomo people, as well as Hudson's significant contributions to American art and ethnography.
