She is well known internationally for her miniature works and especially for her works involving Niagara Falls, the Niagara River and the surrounding area. ”I come back to our Niagara River with increasing admiration and love for its delicate beauty of coloring and the majesty of its breadth and its rushing waters. It suggests to me a great orchestral, symphonic poem of which my rendering must be by brush and palette…The river thrills and saddens one. Its beauty, its tossing magnificence and glory, its delicate colors and rainbowed mist are passing away, turned to utility for the coming generations. Even now I notice changes which the last few years have wrought, and I hope that perhaps some day my canvases may help to show what those waters were in their days of beauty and might-and that my labor shall not have been entirely in vain” Condition: Good Condition
