| Painter Ann Cadwallader Coles was born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1882. She studied painting and printmaking with Harry Sternberg, F.L. Mora, Vincent Tack and C.A. Whipple. She exhibited at the Art League of Columbia, South Carolina; Women's Club, Charlotte, North Carolina; Southern States Art League; and Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois.
Coles was included in the exhibition "100 Years/100 Artists: Views of the 20th Century in South Carolina Art," put on in 2000 by the South Carolina State Museum, Columbia, South Carolina.
Coles paintings are in the collections of Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut;
Parish House, Charlotte, North Carolina; Confederate Museum, Richmond, Virginia; and the Columbia Museum, South Carolina. Her oil painting, "Portrait of a ManTack's Class," 24 x 20, part of the Southern Collection of the Morris Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, was apparently painted when in Vincent Tack's painting class.
