1875-1954
Born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania in
1875 to John Dixon Sloan & Henrietta Ireland, she was a younger
sister of the famous American artist John Sloan. She studied with
Robert Henri and Elliott Daingerfield at the Philadelphia School of
Design for Women. In 1915, her painting "Rocky Beach" was purchased for
the Pennsylvania Academy through the John Lambert Fund, set-up to
purchase works by promising but unrecognized artists. She was a skilled
watercolorist, effectively using light and shadow. She also painted
many murals for Philadelphia churches. Among her numerous exhibition
venues were the Royal Academy in New York and the British Institute in
London.
