Life
Crow was born on September 14, 1891 in Seattle, Washington. In 1914 she attended William Chases summer school in Carmel, California. She later studied at the San Francisco Institute of Art (1914-1917) and the Cincinnati Art Academy (1917-1918) under Frank Duveneck. She studied at the National Academy of Design in New York in 1918. She began exhibiting in California and Seattle in 1915. Crow lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico from 1918-1921 and 1938- ca.1947 where she gained acceptance from local art community. The School of American Research made her a fellow in 1920 because of her fieldwork at San Ildefonso Pueblo and her work with Dr. Hewett.[1] Eagle dancers and drummers from San Ildefonso Pueblo became the subject of Crow's award winning work at the 1921 Paris Salon d'Automne.[2] Crow had solo exhibitions at the New Mexico Museum of Art in 1918 and 1919. Her work is represented in the New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of History and Industry, Washington State Governor's Mansion in Olympia, WA.[3]
