This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, she became a prominent early 20th-century mural painter of pioneer figures and genre in Nebraska.
She grew up in Tecumseh and Lincoln, Nebraska and graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago. She attended the Art Students League in New York and the Julian Academy in Paris, where she studied with M. Paul Baudoir and received a diploma in fresco painting. She settled in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Much of her career was devoted to mural painting at Morrill Hall, the natural history museum of the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Other than these murals, the work for which she is most remembered is "Spirit of the Prairie," a mural depicting a mother and child for the Nebraska State Capitol Library in 1930. She died in Lincoln at age 61.
