Some Drawings by Women Artists-No. 4

Last in this series is Lucille Webster Holling (1900-1989) of Valparaiso and Bloomfield, Indiana. Lucille was a wonderfully good artist, as you can see in the drawings below, taken from Kimo by Alice Cooper Bailey (1928). You can read more about Lucille Webster Holling and see more of her artwork by clicking on the tab in her name at the right and on this link.

Some Drawings by Women Artists-No. 3

Though born in New Jersey, Ursula Koering (1921-1976) was the daughter of a Hoosier and spent part of her childhood in Indiana. She started selling her illustrations when she was in her early twenties. The illustrations shown below are from Tom Stetson on the Trail of the Lost Tribe by John Henry Cutler, published by Whitman in 1948 when she was just twenty-seven. It was the second in a series of three juvenile novels about the character Tom Stetson. You can read my full article on Ursula Koering by clicking here.
