Davis exhibited her exquisitely-painted floral still lifes to much acclaim in NY from the mid-1870s to the mid-1880s. She was particularly active in the Brooklyn art community alongside prominent male artists such as George Clough (1824-1901) & Clinton Loveridge (1838-1915), whom she exhibited with frequently at the Brooklyn Art Association.

Night in the Woods, a wonderful moonlit landscape by Susie M. Barstow (1836-1923) that was discovered by Hawthorne Fine Art, is currently on display in the "Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art" exhibition at the Hudson River Museum from February 8 to May 12, 2019.

Barstow of Brooklyn, New York, was both a prominent member of the Appalachian Mountain Club and a well-known painter of the Hudson River School style. She was known to take long, solitary walks through the wilderness, a rare proclivity for 19th-century female painters. As an avid hiker, Barstow reportedly climbed more than 110 mountains in her lifetime.

Read more about Barstow's artwork and her pioneering efforts as a female painter working in the 19th century on our blog:

The November/December issue of The Magazine Antiques reviews Hawthorne Fine Art's latest exhibition,
"Breaking All Bounds: American Women Artists 1825-1945" --- "But perhaps the greatest service done by Hawthorne is to draw attention to paintings by artists like Grace Cochrane Sanger, who was born in 1881 and worked as a book and magazine illustrator, but is now so obscure that even the date of death is uncertain." Thank you, The Magazine Antiques!

The New York Times mentioned Lauren Sansaricq in an August 14 story on Kaaterskill Falls, located in the Catskill Mountains. Sansaricq has painted the Falls, which she calls in the article "a timeless and sacred place," hundreds of times in a Hudson River School style.
