Huldah Cherry Jeffe
1901 - 2001

I learned about Huldah Cherry Jeffe having lived with a large framed print
since
the early 1960's, though it wasn't until I started
painting in
1998
that I found
information on the artist.
Dad had bought the
print second hand when my
sister and I were little,
and told us that we were the girls in the picture.
