Welcome to my monthly, bonus episode, “Elizabeth Colt Series,” focused on my writing process and research for my upcoming book of the 19th-century art patron. In this episode, journey through the Sampler; creative expressions by everyday women-compositions constructed with fibers and needle.
I also share Wadsworth Atheneum‘s s newer acquisition of Samplers funded by The Florence Paull Berger Fund. Well preserved, beautiful examples that express the inner lives of ordinary women.
