This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born in San Antonio, Texas on Nov. 8, 1890, Olive Brack taught briefly
at a
private girls school in her native city and also did some painting
there. Her father was Asa Allen Brack, a San Antonio photographer.
However, her painting career appears to have
lasted for only five years (1908-1913). While in southern California in
1913, she did several oils of Laguna Beach. After her marriage to Judge
D. F. Strickland, she settled on a ranch in Mission, TX and remained
until her death in 1957 in a hospital in Mission. She was buried in a cemetery in that town.
