Ila Mae McAfee was born 1897 in the small ranching community of Sargents in southwestern Colorado near Gunnison. She studied art with Catherine and Henry Ricter at Western State College where she earned a BA degree in 1919. The next year she went to Chicago and became a student of muralist James E. McBurney and served as his assistant until 1924. During this time, she was also influenced by sculptor Lorado Taft. In 1925, she attended in New York the National Academy of Design, and 1926, the Art Students League. She also worked as an illustrator and painter of miniature animals during this period.
In 1926, McAfee married Elmer Page Turner, an artist whom she had met on her parent's Colorado ranch, and that same year she visited Taos, New Mexico. Two years later, she and her husband settled there, and in 1929, they built the White Horse Studio. In Taos, she became known for her pueblo paintings and her depictions of horses and other animals as well as Native Americans, ranch scenes, and landscapes. In 1981, she was voted Taos Artist of the Year. She also worked as a WPA artist, completing many commissions for post office locations such as Edmond, Oklahoma, and Clifton, Texas.(Biography provided by David Cook Galleries)

About the Artist:
As a girl growing up in a ranching community near Gunnison, Colorado, Ila McAfee loved to ride horses
and to make sketches. Riding ten-miles round trip to school and back, she developed empathy for these
magnificent animals, which remained with her and served as the basis for her life in art. Gathering any
scraps of paper that she could find, she drew their forms, and her first full image of a horse was in the
family Bible. As an adult, she declared, “I just imagine them as if their being existed in a mythological
realm.”
McAfee went to Los Angeles and studied at the West Lake School...
