About the artist: ELIZABETH DAVEY LOCHRIE was born in Deer Lodge Montana, July 1, 1890; she was educated in Butte schools and received her art education at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1911. During 1924-1925 she painted eighteen children's murals for the Montana State Hospital. After 1932, Lochrie specialized in Native American portraits, particularly of Blackfeet tribal members, having produced more than a thousand watercolors, oils, murals and sculptures. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." "Yesterday I painted all day," Elizabeth wrote in a 1932 letter to her family upon Glacier National Park stationary, "Gypsy and Bull Child posed two hours in the afternoon and we had a long visit beside. They wanted to take Son and I into the tribe and give us names. She was adopted by the Blackfeet and given the name "Netchitaki" which translates as "Woman Alone In Her Way." Elizabeth returned almost every summer till the late 1940's to her adopted people. In her notes from the summer of 1942 she describes her visit to Sun Dance at Heart Butte Montana "The medicine woman never raises her eyes, no water for four days save a sip at sundown and no food." Swims Under and Mink Woman broke a green sapling about six feet stripped all but a tuft at top. It signifies part of the Beaver Crown and means fertility." In the summer of 1945 she tells again of being part of this world, "I took part in Feather Dance in Fish Robe Lodge. He came and asked me as they were having prayers for a little girl recovering; she had been in the Great Falls hospital for several months. Fish prayed, we all bowed our heads, about sixteen of us. Then came the feather dance and he painted my face. We used a handful of sticks decorated with three feathers each and three bones like in stick game but with no gambling Women side against men, we won three straight which took three hours. I sat at the head by Fish as chief guest, a great honor. Elizabeth for the rest of her life visited with many tribes throughout Montana, Wyoming and the West both to paint and learn about people. Her palette and brush captured a time when most Americans was unaware that the "old ways" were still alive. One could not have seen this without an open invite; she was truly "Woman Alone In Her Way." She left behind a body of work which upon the back of almost every one is written a story that allows one to be know those people that she captured through this developed bond. Today when her works are displayed it is not uncommon for Native Americans to come and show their children their grandfathers and grandmothers. They talk about the objects in the hands, the clothes that are worn, and this is one of the greatest compliment an artist may ever receive. Elizabeth died in the company of her family in Ojai, California in 1981.

"The Artist's Wife at the Loom, " Harry Hoffman, Bright American Impressionism
By Harry Leslie Hoffman
Located in New York, NY
Harry Leslie Hoffman (1871 - 1964) The Artist's Wife (Beatrice Pope) at the Loom, circa 1915 Oil on canvas 30 x 32 inches Housed in a period Newcomb-Macklin frame Provenance: Estate of the artist Private Collection, Massachusetts This painting depicts the artist's wife at the loom, producing textile versions of Hoffman's underwater paintings. The screen shown behind Bea is an underwater scene also painted by Hoffman. The study of this painting is held in the collection of the Wolfsonian Museum in Florida. Harry Leslie Hoffman was born in Cressona, a small community in Pennsylvania's Schuylkill Valley. His mother was an amateur artist who encouraged her son to pursue a career in the arts. In 1893, Hoffman entered the School of Art at Yale University and studied with John Ferguson Weir, the son of Robert Walter Weir. After graduation in 1897, Hoffman moved to New York to continue his studies at the Art Students League. He also traveled to Paris and took classes at the Académie Julien. In the summer of 1902, Hoffman attended the Lyme Summer School of Art, in the town of Old Lyme on the Connecticut coast. The school was headed by Frank Vincent Dumond and was located in a boarding house owned by Florence Griswold. The school eventually grew into an artists' colony and a center for American Impressionism. When Hoffman first arrived as a student, he was not permitted to stay in the house which was designated for the professional artists only. However, his outgoing personality soon won him many friends at the colony. In 1905, Hoffman settled in Old Lyme and worked as a full member of the artist colony. He was particularly influenced by Willard Leroy Metcalf, an Impressionist also working in Old Lyme. Fellow artists later fondly recalled Hoffman's antics at the Griswold house, which included playing the flute and banjo, tap-dancing, singing humorous songs, and performing magic tricks. In 1910 Hoffman...
