She got intellectuals, as well as the neighbours and the shopkeeper on the corner, to pose in her apartment in New York.
This exhibition shows, for the first time, vibrant canvases that were painted outside at Spring Lake or in Vermont.
The landscapes, interiors, and family portraits reveal all the joy that the artist found in the simple pleasures of life in the country, far from the day-to-day stress of New York.
