Women Painters of Wa Gallery

Women Painters of Washington was founded in 1930 by a group of six women artists.  The founding members–Elizabeth Warhanik, Dorothy Dolph Jensen, Lily Norling Hardwick, Myra Albert Wiggins, Anna B. Stone and Helen Bebb joined together to overcome the limitations they faced as female artists and to stimulate artistic growth through fellowship.

Their goal was to create an organization that would promote individual growth for female artists while at the same time nurturing a strong fellowship among its members. Women Painters of Washington has worked diligently to create opportunities for artistic growth and to encourage creative expression for women.
