These are a few of the fashion sketches that my mother did in her late teens. The first that I ever recall seeing them was when going through my father’s things after he died, which was nine years after her death. She had talents that I never knew about, and my guess is that she had aspirations that were never met because instead she focused on attending to her family (us).

I have included a few of the many pictures that my mother drew or painted over her life. The fashion drawings were probably done while she was in high school in the early 1920’s. I confess that I didn’t appreciate her work fully until after her death – and then it was too late to talk to her about it.
