Julie Hart Beers

Julie Hart Beers Kempson (1835 – August 13, 1913) was an American landscape painter associated with the Hudson River School who was one of the very few commercially successful professional women landscape painters of her day.[1] Like most women artists of the day, she had no formal art education, but it is thought that she was trained by her brothers.[1][4] Well into her forties, with her second husband, Peter Kempson, she moved to Metuchen, New Jersey, where she set up her own studio.[1][6] Beers's mature style balances sweeping, well-balanced compositions with telling details.[4] She was able to sell a good deal of work through the Brooklyn Art Association,[5] but she also took groups of women on sketching trips to the mountains of New York and New England to supplement her income.
