Taos Painters: Bertha Stringer Lee (1869-1937)
Born in San Francisco in 1869 to a storage company tycoon, Bertha Stringer was encouraged to go into the arts from an early age. She displayed work for the first time at the age of 14, and went on to study at the Mark Hopkins Art Institute and UC-Berkeley. In 1894 she was married to Eugene Lee, an electrician, and took a studio in their home on Steiner Street, where she often entertained.
Lee's work was primarily landscape and tonal scenes, generally of the San Francisco Bay or the Monterey Peninsula. Not in need of money, most of her pieces were given as gifts to friends and family members. A great number of her works were lost in the fires that directly followed the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. She exhibited at the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the Sequoia club, the Golden Gate Park Museum and the Richelieu Gallery and has works in the permanent collection of the St. Mary's College, the Oakland Museum and the De Young Museum.

Taos Painters: Hernando Gonzallo Villa (1881 - 1952)
Hernando Villa was a commercial artist and easel painter, best known for his work for the Santa Fe Railway.
Villa was born in Los Angeles to a father who had a painting studio on the plaza. He studied at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design in 1905 and, after a year in Germany and England, he taught at the School for two years.
Villa established himself as a commercial artist in his home town, illustrating western magazines and creating advertising for the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Santa Fe Railway. He enjoyed a forty-year relationship with the Santa Fe for which he created his best-known images including the Santa Fe Chief emblem.
Villa also executed easel paintings throughout his career which he showed primarily in California. He worked in oil, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal. His most frequent subjects were Native Americans, Mexican vaqueros, California missions, and coastal views. Villa created a mural for the New Rialto Theater in Phoenix, and won a gold medal for a mural exhibited at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in 1915.
