It's a Family Affair

As we enter into the season of family-centered festivities, let's celebrate the interplay of art and kinship! Get ready to delve into the stories of families united in creativity: Louise Clasper Rumely and her daughter, Janet Susan Rumely, Percy Tarrant and his talented daughter, Margaret Tarrant, the harmonious partnership of Maud and Miska Petersham, the collaborative genius of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite with both her sister, Annie R. Rentoul, and her husband, Grenbry Outhwaite, and the extraordinary sibling connection between Maginel Wright Enright Barney and her renowned brother (can you guess who?). Lastly, we'll explore the creative legacy of the Darling family behind Laughing Elephant! These artistic unions have produced captivating works that continue to inspire and enchant us, and we can't wait to share more about them!
