Florence Ann Morris 1876 (Nevada, Missouri) - 1947 (Roswell, New Mexico)
Born and raised in Nevada, Missouri, Florence Morris became noted for her paintings of Southwest Indians and pueblos, especially scenes of New Mexico, although she traveled to Arizona where she became friends with the Mescalero Apache people.
Morris showed early art talent that was so remarkable that when she attended Cottey College in Missouri, the director of the school had an art class outside of the curriculum established just for her. She also attended the University of Missouri. In 1895, when she was 24 years old, she married Richard E. Morris, a teacher. They both taught at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, but an illness and childbirth in 1898 led to her quitting the teaching position.
In 1912, the family moved to Roswell, New Mexico because of her need for a drier climate. There she became active in the community and did not focus on her art talents until 1925 when she lost her hearing in a flu epidemic. To cope with that circumstance, she took up painting again, and that year studied with Arthur Hammond, a Boston artist who was visiting in Roswell. The next year, she worked with Warren Rollins in Santa Fe and then went to Paris to study with Louis Bregoli, an Italian artist.
Returning to Roswell, Florence Morris continued her painting, which included portraits of prominent persons such as New Mexico Governor Richard Dillon; artist Warren Rollins; and Will Rogers, famous cowboy entertainer. This painting hangs at the Claremore, Oklahoma Library.
She also gained much attention for her paintings of Native Americans, whom she visited frequently in their pueblos. Among her subjects were the people of the Santa Fe, Zuni, Hopi and Acoma pueblos, and she also did landscape scenes and still lifes, often working from a studio she kept in the White Mountains.
Exhibition venues included the Museum of New Mexico, Galeria d'Art du Montparnasse in Paris, and the Washington DC Society of Independent Artists.
