Fidelia Bridges Exhibit in Wisconsin

An exhibition now at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum portrays the life and career of botanical watercolorist Fidelia Bridges (1834-1923). 

The museum website says: "Despite inauspicious beginnings as an orphan growing up in Massachusetts, she became one of the preeminent women artists of her time and was the first woman member of the seminal American Watercolor Society. As an artist, she developed an elegant and exacting style, most often portraying birds and botanicals."
The exhibition Fidelia Bridges: The Artful Sketch will be at at the Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin through August 27, 2023, and admission is free.

    No, unfortunately. But I saw some Fidelia Bridges at the big watercolor exhibition in Philadelphia a few years ago and was impressed.
