In 2023, the Yolo County Historical Collection sent fifteen frames and nine paintings to conservators to be restored. “Picturing Yolo County” features these newly restored portraits made by and for Yolo County residents during the late 1800s. These portraits, while similar in style, exemplify the different ways that local artists chose to work within this art form, including the ways in which women artists were trained in, and engaged with, this art form. This exhibition examines Yolo County portraiture through the work of six 19th-century local artists, five of which are women: Phoebe Olevia Hodgen, Calthea Campbell Vivian, Clara Brown, Louis Grund Joran, Carrie Blowers and Annie Blowers. |
