He was born into a wealthy family of Pittsburgh, social status strengthened by her marriage to a steel industrialist. However, strong and energetic personality, certainly supported by its privileged economic status, led her to make an important career to be considered, already in the thirties of the twentieth century, as “the leading female artist of Pittsburgh”. His first exhibition was in 1896 when he was twenty years made an annual, except two years, up 1955, three years before his death at age eighty-seven.
