She participates in a lot of the plein air events, that information is also on her website!Ī blip about the artist from her website: I bow to those of you who can paint people… I think it’s a talent that not a lot of us were meant to have. I have not met this artist (yet)! and by the title of this piece “In the Studio” it makes me wonder if this is a self portrait? It’s gorgeous.

#ROBERT LIBERACE JOHN SINGER SARGEAN ARCHIVE#
The John Singer Sargent Archive remains closed for in-person visits until further notice. Over time, more records will be made available online. The Ormond Family papers contained within the archive offer an integral view of Sargent and his family. Humorous and humanizing caricatures by fellow artists such as Henry Tonks and Max Beerbohm give us a sense of how Sargent was viewed within his trusted circle of friends. Several letters are written to close friend and author Violet Paget (Vernon Lee) and to Walter Leighton Clark, with whom he cofounded the Grand Central Art Galleries in New York City. Highlights include fifteen letters written by Sargent to the French Impressionist painter Claude Monet, a letter of appreciation written in the hand of Amélie Gautreau (the subject of the painting known as Madame X), and letters written by Sargent’s sister Emily that contain details of Sargent’s activities over the course of many years. The collection contains correspondence written by Sargent, photographs of the artist at work, estate papers, biographical information, and other personal papers related to the life and career of this exceptional artist. Made possible by generous gifts from Warren and Jan Adelson and Richard and Leonee Ormond, the John Singer Sargent Archive is an active collection that continues to grow.
