“Harriette Bowdoin was born in South Hadley Falls, Massachusetts in 1880. However, she spent the majority of her life in New York City, moving there at an early age to study art under the well-known landscapists Henry Snell (1858-1943) and Elliott Daingerfield (1859-1932), who was also a muralist.” (1)
“She studied painting with Sir Frank Brangwyn in France…Bowdoin met American post-impressionist Jane Peterson, who also was also studying with Brangwyn at the time. The two women most probably traveled to Venice together around 1907-1908. Both of these women artists were using fabulous color and bold, spontaneous brushwork in their paintings around that time period.” (2)
“She exhibited two paintings in the 1917 exhibit of the Society of Independent Artists, listing her address at the time as studio 417, 1947 Broadway, New York. One of the paintings was illustrated in the catalogue for this exhibition.” (3)
“Bowdoin exhibited her work at the Art Institute of Chicago (1911-18), at the National Academy of Design (1913-20), at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, and at the Society of Independent Artists in 1917. She was also a member of the National Association of Women Painter and Sculptors, the American Watercolor Society, and the New York Society of Painters.” (1)
