Janet Doub Erickson
Janet Doub Erickson (born Janet Ann Doub) is an American graphic artist and writer who popularized linoleum-block and woodblock printing in the post-World War II period, both through her art and through her writings. She was born to a pioneering American family (the Doub (family)) in Hagerstown, Maryland in 1924.
==Youth & education==
Janet Ann Doub spent her early years in Boonsboro, Maryland, on farmland her father’s ancestors had settled in the eighteenth century and subsequently farmed continuously. She moved to New England in the nineteen thirties to be closer to her mother’s family, who were descended from New England's earliest pioneers. One direct ancestor, the aristocratic Henry Sherburne of Portsmouth, New Hampshire〔Some Descendants of Henry and John Sherburne of Portsmouth, N.H. (Boston, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1904)〕 numbered among New Hampshire's first English settlers, arriving there in 1632, a little more than a decade after the Mayflower landed on Cape Cod. Sherburne and his descendants settled New England and beyond as the frontier moved west. Another maternal ancestor was Thomas Wiggin, the first governor of the province of New Hampshire. Mid-Atlantic, her father's Maryland forebears were the pioneering German Palatine Doub (family), active in Western Maryland before and after American independence from England. These pietist Doubs were early and active members of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. This conservative Trinitarian church claims to be the first Christian denomination founded in America〔Church of the United Brethren in Christ〕 and from its early days took a strong stand against slavery.
Leaving Maryland in the late twenties, Doub spent the rest of her childhood in Winchester, Massachusetts, before moving south to begin college in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The experience was unfortunate. After dropping out of the University of Mary Washington, Erickson returned north to attend the Massachusetts College of Art, graduating in the nineteen forties, and founded with partner Paul Coombs “Blockhouse of Boston” soon thereafter, achieving commercial success with innovative approaches to block-printing. After marrying author Evarts Erickson in the 1950s, and adopting the name Janet Doub Erickson, she drove from New England to Mexico and lived for several years on a fellowship from The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation.〔http://www.louiscomforttiffanyfoundation.org; "Tiffany scholarships in painting were awarded to..in graphic arts..to Janet Doub..." (https://archive.org/stream/newinternational008502mbp/newinternational008502mbp_djvu.txt).〕 In Guadalajara and then Oaxaca she studied Mexican printmaking techniques and had several children, subsequently returning to a professorship in the United States.〔From 1955-1959 at SUNY Buffalo New York〕
