orig. Anna Mary Robertson

born Sept. 7, 1860, Greenwich, N.Y., U.S.
died Dec. 13, 1961, Hoosick Falls, N.Y.

U.S. painter.

She began to produce embroidery pictures after her husband died in 1927. When arthritis impaired her embroidering, she turned to painting. She had her first exhibition in a drugstore in 1938 at age 78. She went on to produce more than 1,000 nostalgic, naively executed scenes of turn-of-the-century rural life (e.g., Catching the Thanksgiving Turkey, Over the River to Grandma's House). By 1939 her pictures were being exhibited internationally, and from 1946 they were regularly reproduced on holiday greeting cards.
