Nellie Castor Gebors:
Born and raised in the small community of Ira, Iowa, Nellie Castor's desire to paint appeared at an early age, and when refused lessons by a local artist, her parents purchased a small box of watercolors. Nellie then supplied her own canvas (cigar box lids) and brushes (cotton wound on toothpicks) to create her first scenes. Castor was the first child in her family to attend high school and frequently took a train the ten miles to class, allowing her to meet John Gebers, (showing 500 of 4539 characters). |
