1909-2009

Glenora Richards was a member of the American Society of Miniature Painters, and won the National Association of Women Artists' medal of honor for her work in 1953. She began her career studying at the Cleveland School of Art and her work has been widely exhibited in Philadelphia and New York. Glenora Richards was born in 1909 in New London, Ohio. Her parents were Bertha and Tracy Case. She attended high school in Litchfield, Ohio, where she played the violin. She studied art at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) in the 1920s. She met her husband, Walter DuBois Richards, also a student at the CIA, while she was sketching at a department store. The couple married and moved to New York City. In 1941, the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where she lived until just before she died in 2009. Richards painted miniature portraits and designed postage stamps. In 1953, she was awarded the medal of honor by the National Association of Women Artists and The National Association of Women Artists Prize at the organization's 1962 Annual Exhibition. Her miniature portrait of the prize-winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay was the basis for a U.S. postage stamp, issued in 1981. She also designed a postage stamp to commemorate Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, a U.S. Army surgeon who was the first woman to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor Richards died in 2009. She continued to paint and upon her death, she was the last surviving member of the American Society of Miniature Painters.
