According to Dr. Vern Swanson of the Springville Museum of Art, Mary
Teasdel (1863-1937), Rose Hartwell (1861-1914), and Myra Louise Sawyer
(c.1866-1956) were the first female artists from Utah to receive name
recognition for their work. (1)
In the early 1900s, Sawyer studied art in Paris, France, with other
Utah artists who were referred to as the "French Mission." Sawyer
spent over six years in France. While there, she and Rose
Hartwell sketched and painted in Giv (showing 500 of 2222 characters). |
