A painter of "delightful memories" of small town life of Dyer, Arkansas, Fannie Spelce was a professional nurse who worked in Houston from 1955 through 1959 with Dr. Michael DeBakey in his pioneering open-heart surgery. She retired from her forty-two year nursing career in 1972, and devoted herself to her talent and interest in fine-art painting.
In the summer of 1966, she took art lessons at Laguna Gloria Art Museum, but a teacher discouraged her by describing her work as "primitive". H (showing 500 of 1267 characters). |
