Alabama artist Clara Weaver Parrish studied at the Art Students League in New York under William Merrit Chase and others, after which she traveled in Europe for a time and studied at the Academy Colarossi. Although she exhibited in New York, Paris, and London, her attention became increasingly concentrated on stained glass window art.

A highly successful artist, Lilla Cabot Perry was born into a prominent Boston family and in 1874 married a professor of literature from the famous Perry family. A mother of three, she began studying art at age 36 at the Boston Cowles Art School, supplemented by studies at Académie Julian in Paris and in Germany. In 1889 and for many summers thereafter, the Perrys summered in Giverny where they met Monet and other impressionists who influenced her style. Perry in turn introduced the Impressionists to a less-than-appreciative Boston. In the late 1890s, the Perrys lived for three years in Japan where her husband taught while she absorbed Japanese influences into her art.Biography

Sarah Gooll Putnam was born into a well-to-do Boston family. She studied under various local art teachers and was part of the first class of students at the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts, training which was intended for serious (women) amateurs rather than for (male) professionals. Further training in New York, Holland, and Munich followed. By 1883 she had become a successful portrait painter of Boston society and often exhibited. Her portrait of Bessie Hooper was accepted into the Exhibition of Massachusetts Art in the Mechanics Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago."Striking in its promise": The Artistic Career of Sarah Gooll Putnam--longer article in the Massachusetts Historical Review; includes a number of sketches.
