Biography from AskART:
| Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was a still life, portrait and landscape painter whose early recognition derived from her association with male artists. She was a niece and pupil of Alexander and Birge Harrison and then moved to the art colony at New, Hope, Pennsylvania, inspired by William Lathrop, one of the first painters to settle in New Hope.
She studied with Robert Spencer, whom she marred in 1914, and they became central figures in that art colony, but their marriage was unhappy, and he had continual depression leading to his suicide in 1931. As an artist during that period, she was known as an artist's wife who painted part time. But she continued to paint and went West, indicated by a record of her working in Tucson, Arizona in the summer of 1941. |
