Fidelia Bridges
Fidelia Bridges (May 19, 1834 – May 14, 1923) was one of the small number of successful female artists in the 19th and early 20th centuries. She was a painter and illustrator, capturing small aspects of nature: flowers, birds, and other plants in their natural settings. She first was an oil painter and later took up watercolor painting. She was known for her delicately detailed paintings. She was considered an expert and specialist in watercolor painting. She was the only woman in the group of seven notable 19th-century artists in the American Watercolor Society. Her illustrations were published in books, magazines and were used for greeting cards.
==Early life==
Fidelia Bridges was born in Salem, Massachusetts, to a sea captain,〔 Henry Gardiner Bridges (1789-1849) and his wife Eliza Chadwick Bridges (1791-1850).〔 She was orphaned by age fifteen after her mother and father died.〔〔 Henry Bridges was taken ill and was taken to Macao, China, where he died in December, 1849. Three months later, just three hours before the news of his death arrived in Salem, Eliza died in March, 1850.〔〔(''A Forgotten Master Artist, Fidelia Bridges.'' ) Salem Patch. Retrieved March 16, 2014.〕
The couple left four children, Eliza, Elizabeth, Fedelia and Henry who lived at 100 Essex Street, now known as the Fedelia Bridges Guest House, but moved to a more affordable home on the same street after their parent's death.〔 Fedelia's older sister, Eliza, was a school teacher and became the guardian of her younger siblings.〔〔
Fedelia, who was ill, was taken to Virginia Springs with family friends and upon her return studied drawing during her convalescence in Salem. She became friends of artist and art school owner, Anne Whitney.〔 Having regained her health, Fidelia became a live-in mother's helper in the household of William Augustus Brown, a Quaker who had been a Salem ship-holder and the moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he became a successful wholesale produce merchant.〔Dearinger, David B (2004). ''Paintings and Sculpture in the Collection of the National Academy of Design''. Hudson Hills Press. ISBN 978-1-55595-029-3.〕〔〔 The Bridges moved to Brooklyn, too, and in 1854 Eliza established a school there.〔〔 Eliza died in 1856 of tuberculosis and Fidelia and her older sister Elizabeth then ran the school.〔〔
