This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Landscape painter Ethel Blandin was born in Macon, Nebraska April 15,
1887. She moved, before 1900, with her family, Orrin Joseph and
Miranda (Nettleton) Blandin to Eaton, Colorado. The artist
traveled about the West, residing and painting in Colorado for many
years following her marriage to Lemuel W. Haworth in 1920. The
couple would later move to various locales, including Oregon, before
moving to Sedona, Arizona in 1947. Blandin would return to
Colorado in 1960, to Delta, Montrose and, in 1966, Canon City, where
she died three years later on October 19, 1969.
Blandin's
education included Colorado Teachers College (now the University of
Northern Colorado), Greeley, 1905-1907, and the School of the Chicago
Art Institute, Illinois, 1907-1908. She was a member of the
American Artists Professional league, and Oregon Society of
Artists. In addition to being a prolific painter, she acted as an
art gallery director.
The Santa Fe Railroad, a major collector of southwestern artists and paintings, acquired, in 1953, Blandin's view of Sedona's Courthouse Rock, and Shower Over the Grand Canyon.
Another painting of the Grand Canyon by Blandin was given as a gift by
the Phoenix Greek delegation to the King and Queen of Greece during a
visit to Arizona.
Ethel Blandin had one-person exhibitions in
Washington, California, Oregon, New Mexico and Arizona, including a
year-long show in the early 1950s at the Grand Canyon's El Tovar
Hotel. She also exhibited a landscape, Desert Trails, and a
portrait of her husband, Mr. Haworth, in 1948 at the Arizona State
Fair, Phoenix.
