Inez BolingerInez Russell Bolinger (1887-1967) lived in Warsaw, Ind., and many of her works are of scenes in Kosciusko County. She studied at the Herron Art School in Indianapolis with such important Hoosier artists as William Forsyth, Wayman Adams and Homer Davisson. Her participation in the 1934 Hoosier Salon exhibition in Chicago, Ill., brought her notice. Indiana art critic Clara Sackett called her “one of Indiana’s outstanding artists.” In the 1940s Mrs. Bolinger became interested in sculpture but continued painting. She exhibited in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Ind., Tampa and Miami, Fla., and Houston, Texas. She was a member of the National League of American Pen Women and took part in the organization’s annual shows in Washington, D.C. |
