The Irondequoit Art Club’s Artist Lecture Series continues on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:00 PM, with a presentation from Sharon Dwyer Buzard about The Illustrious Maud Humphrey.
Born in Rochester, New York, in 1868 to a prominent family, Maud Humphrey became a world-famous illustrator and was the highest paid woman in America for a time. She married Dr. Belmont DeForest Bogart, a cardiologist and heart surgeon from Watkins Glen, in 1898. Their first child, a boy born in 1899, was named with their two surnames: Humphrey Bogart. Come hear her fascinating life story illustrated with photographs of her family and artworks from her many publications.
Rochester artist, teacher, and interior designer Sharon Dwyer Buzard earned degrees in English and Art in Indianapolis at Butler University and John Herron School of Art. After teaching at Penfield High School, she earned a Master’s Degree in Painting at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her love of antiquing led her to discover the works of Maud Humphrey.
