Item Description

Humber was born in New York City at the turn of the century. She studied at both the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League and from 1935 to 1943 was employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) where she developed her style as a painter of the “American Scene.” She moved to the Seattle area in 1943 where she quickly established herself in the Seattle art community. She taught locally for many years and was a member of many local arts organizations, including being a life member of Women’s Painters West (WPW) where she served as President in 1948. Her work is included in the collections of the Seattle Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the RISD Museum.
