Jessie Henderson Drew-Bear
American artist, 1877–1962
Primarily self-taught, Drew-Bear's art incorporates a whimsical and fanciful approach, using bright colors and textured surfaces to surrealistically depict personal narratives and fairy tales.
Although she maintained a home and studio in New Hope, Drew-Bear was well-traveled, spending time painting in Greece, Holland, and the French Riviera. During her twenty-three year career, Drew-Bear's work was exhibited in over fifteen solo exhibitions at institutions including, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, the Newman Contemporary Art Gallery, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance. Her work was also acquired by notable gallery owners and art collectors such as Albert Duveen and Sidney Janis. Several of her works are now housed in the Woodmere Art Museum's collection.
