About the Item

Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Faye Swengel Badura (1904 – 1991) Faye Swengel Badura was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1904. She began her art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1923, under the tutelage of Daniel Garber. While there, Swengel Badura was put in charge of selecting Academy students to receive scholarships for studies at the Barnes Foundation. In 1926, she won the Academy’s prestigious Cresson Traveling Scholarship for study in Europe and spent four months abroad in England, France, and Italy. In addition to her education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Swengel Badura studied at the Barnes Foundation as well as with avant-garde modernist painter, Arthur B. Carles. While at the Academy, Faye met fellow art student, Ben Badura, and in 1928, the couple married. They lived first in Reading, Pennsylvania, then Harrisburg, before moving to Centre Bridge in 1930. In 1937, the Baduras bought a property on Main Street in New Hope. The building served as an art studio, frame shop, and their home for more than 50 years. Swengel Badura was the recipient of many prestigious awards during her career, including the Mary Smith Prize and a Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her work was exhibited in major venues such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the National Academy of Design; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Cincinnati Art Museum; the Woodmere Art Museum; and the Phillips Mill Community Association. Faye Swengel Badura’s artwork is in the permanent collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Woodmere Art Museum, and the James A. Michener Art Museum.

Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist.
