The Drawings of Virginia Frances Sterrett

I love these drawings by Virginia Frances Sterrett.

At fourteen, unthoughtful of achievement and ambition, friends persuaded her to send her drawings to the Kansas State Fair. To her surprise, she won first prize in three different categories. The originality of her drawings โ€” which, throughout her life, came to her as visions she felt she was merely channeling onto the page with her pen and brush โ€” captivated two successful local artists, who encouraged her to pursue formal study.
