Ball graduated from Okmulgee High School in 1926 and painted for her entire adult life. She supported native art and encouraged others to learn about their heritage. In particular, Ball was a strong influence on her grand-niece Joy Harjo, who was later a United States Poet Laureate. Joy Harjo dedicated her 1983 book She Had Some Horses to her great-aunt Lois. A scholarship for Muscogee Nation students of fine arts, the Naomi & Lois Harjo Scholarship, is named in honor of Ball. (en)
