This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Born in Carson City, Iowa, Beatrice Stoddard became an active Indiana
landscape artist, exhibiting with the Hoosier Salon and the John Herron
Art Institute. Venues outside of Indiana included the
Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 where she won a
silver medal; the Sioux City, Iowa Biennial; and the Women Club of
Council Bluffs.
She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and with Charles W. Hawthorne in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Her first husband was John Stoddard, a dentist, with whom she moved to
Nashville, Indiana where they built a home on Town Hill. He
died in 1928, and in 1936, she married Willlim R. Van Valtenberg, a
name the couple shortened to Van.
As an art educator, she served as the Art Supervisor of the Marion
County Public Schools in Indianapolis; head of the art department at
Indiana Central College in Indianapolis; was Art Director at Hilltop
Camp and Summer School for Girls in Nashville from 1924 to 1947.
