The title says it all. But there's more to this lens than admiration. Various modules are here to hopefully encourage, enlighten and educate the reader.
Thanks for stopping by. If you would like your lens or site to be included here, please contact me.
Women Painters of the American West
1890 - 1945
Years ago, I attended an exhibition at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage located in the foothills of the San Fernando Valley, titled: "Independent Spirits - Women Painters of the American West, 1890-1945." It was a stunning exhibit of work by women mostly viewed in the shadow of Georgia O'Keefe. Included in the exhibit, O'Keefe, by comparison, was second rate in skill and talent.
As time permits, I will be adding online information about many of these artists and their wonderful work..

- Interesting subject. I never took art classes or art appreciation in school so I'm now learning about the artists. Thanks for helping me with this project.
I love your painting of earth rising.

- You've opened a new world for me. I'm more of a realistic painter; never did surrealistic or impressionistic painting. Lots of info here about women artists.
