Known for her modernist interpretations of the Southwest and deep love for Taos, New Mexico, Ohio-born Anna Katharine Skeele settled in Monrovia, California, at the age of 16. She would study art first in California with painter Armin Hansen, and then later at the Art Students League of New York City under Charles Hawthorne, as well as in Paris France and Italy. It would be Taos that would linger in her heart, and it was there she spent many summers. She was also a beloved and respected teacher of art.
