M. Josephine Walters
Josephine Walters is one of the few 19th century women Hudson River artists.
Little is known about her life, including her year of birth. Her exhibition records show that she lived in New York City from 1867-1875 and in Hoboken, NJ from 1878-1883, the year she died. She studied with Asher Durand and was described as his favorite woman student in the book "Life and Times of Asher B. Durand", p. 184, by his son John Durand.
She exhibited at the National Academy of Design from 1864-1883 and with the Brooklyn Art Association from 1866-1881. She also exhibited with the American Society of Painters in Watercolor, Yale School of Fine Arts, the San Francisco Art Association, the Utica Art Association, the Western Academy of Art, the Century Association, and the Cincinnati Academy.
Her specialty was Hudson River scenes, especially in the Adirondacks.
Her works can be found at the New York Historical Society, the Downtown Club, and The Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY.
In spite of her many exhibition records, only a small number of her paintings have come to light.
She is listed in "Who Was Who in American Art" 1999, Petteys' "Dictionary of Women Artists", the NY Historical Society's "Dictionary of Artists in America 1564-1860", and "American Landscape and Genre Paintings" in the New-York Historical Society: A Catalog of the Collection including Historical, Narrative and Marine Art.
