This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Laura van Pappelendam was born February 10, 1883, in Donnellson, Iowa, growing up in Keokuk, Iowa.  She had a nearly life-long association with the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois, as student, artist and teacher.  She studied from 1904-1909 at the School of the Art Institute, continuing with classes until she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in art education in 1926.  She won honorable mentions in 1910-1912, and 1917.

Van Pappelendam gained a doctorate in 1929 from the University of Chicago.  She taugt at the Art Institute for fifty years, from 1909-1959.  She also had an extended tenure at the University of Chicago, teaching from 1918-1948.  For a time, she also taught summer classes at Illinois State Normal School (now Illinois State University).

The artist lived and worked in Chicago until 1962, moving to Tucson, Arizona, until 1966, when illness forced her into a convalescent home in Pico Rivera, California. Her last years were passed in a Downey, California, convalescent home.  She died February 10, 1974, in Norwalk, California, on her ninety-first birthday.

Despite her enormous teaching load, Van Pappelendam was somehow a very productive artist, painting mainly during the summer months and when on a leave from the Art Institute.  Her work, executed mainly in oil, included impressionistic landscapes, flowers and views of everyday life.  Some of her painting locations include Chicago and Normal, Illinois, 1909-1915; Provincetown, Massachusetts, 1916; Mexico, in 1928-1936, where she studied with Diego Rivera in 1930; Europe, 1937, 1958-1960; and Keokuk, Iowa, 1938-1940.

She also painted extensively in the American Southwest, including Colorado, 1917; and California, 1918-1919, 1941, 1949, 1956-1957.  She painted in Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Santa Fe, New Mexico, from 1920-1927.  Perhaps her most important paintings during the 1950s were created in northern New Mexico, from 1950-1955.

During her long and varied career, she encountered a number of artists with large reputations, when a student and after, who influenced her work, including George Bellows, Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, Kenyon Cox, Charles W. Hawthorne, Nicholas Roerich, Karl Buehr, and Charles Francis Browne.

Laura van Pappelendam's works are in the collections of the Illinois State Museum, Springfield; University of Chicago; John H. Vanderpoel Memorial Art Gallery,
Chicago; Art Institute of Chicago; Lee County Historical Society, Keokuk, Iowa; and Art League, Oak Park, Illinois

The U.S. Embassy Residence in Dublin, Ireland, exhibited her work for an extended period from 1957-1961, but Chicago was the center of her art exhibition experience with most of the two hundred fifty shows in which she participated taking place there.

However, just as her painting travels ranged widely, so, too, her exhibitions in
New York City venues like the Whitney Museum of American Art, Riverside Museum, and Academy of Allied Arts; as well as the City Art Museum, St. Louis; Women Painters of America, Wichita, Kansas; Sesquicentennial International Exposition, Philadelphia; Women's International Exposition, Detroit; Kansas City Art Institute, Missouri; Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh; New Jersey State Museum, Trenton; Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe; and National College of Art, Dublin.
