Clara Elsene Peck
Clara Elsene Peck (April 18, 1883 – February 1968) was an American illustrator and painter known for her illustrations of women and children in the early 20th century. Peck received her arts education from the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts and was employed as a magazine illustrator from 1906-1940. Peck's body of work encompasses a wide range, from popular women's magazines and children's books, works of fiction, commercial art for products like Ivory soap, and comic books and watercolor painting later in her career. Peck worked during the "Golden Age of American Illustration" (1880s-1930s) contemporaneous with noted female illustrators Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet Oakley.
Peck's work appeared in exhibitions from the Art Institute of Chicago to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and she received awards from the New York Association of Women Painters and Sculptors in the 1920s. Peck resided in an art colony in Leonia, New Jersey with her collaborator and husband, artist John Scott Williams. In the 1940s, Peck contributed to Catholic comic books distributed to parochial schools. She focused on watercolor painting in the 1950s and her work was exhibited in Europe and the United States. Her most notable illustrations and artwork were published in three books early in her career: ''Shakespeare's Sweetheart'' (1905), ''A Lady of King Arthur's Court'' (1907), and ''In the Border Country'' (1909).

Clara Elsene Peck was born in Allegan, Michigan on April 18, 1883. Peck spent her youth in St. Paul, Minnesota and later studied art at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts. She took classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts〔By the 1880s, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts had developed a significant female student body. Artists such as Cecilia Beaux were on the teaching faculty during this period. Beaux taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts between 1895-1915.

He also founded the Shinnecock Summer School of Art (1891) at his summer home near Southampton, Long Island, and the Chase School of Art in New York City (1896) which became the New York School of Art in 1898. He also taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (1896–1909). Notable pupils included Patrick Henry Bruce, Charles Webster Hawthorne, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Sheeler, and Martha Walter.

Other members of the family in previous generations were artists, making the love and joy in creative expression a natural one to me."
