This episode of Big Blend Radio's "Toast to The Arts" Show features contemporary figurative artist Victoria Chick who talks about the life and art of Margaret Jordan Patterson. Her work was exhibited widely in east coast galleries and the public gained a larger appreciation of her work after she received awards at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in 1915 and a medal from the Philadelphia Watercolor Club in 1939. Museums that have her work include the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Oakland Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and, in England, the Victoria and Albert Museum.
