Hetty Burlingame Beatty (October 8, 1907 – August 20, 1971) was an American sculptor, writer of children's literature and illustrator.[1]
Biography
Beatty was born in New Canaan, Connecticut. From 1924 until 1929 she attended the Boston Museum School. She trained as a sculptor. Frederick W. Allen was the daily instructor at that time with Charles Grafly coming up from Philadelphia twice a month to give criticisms as head of the Sculpture Department.
Her works were exhibited nationally and won a number of awards. A one-woman show of her sculpture and drawings was held at the Worcester Art Museum in 1941. She also had shows at: Art Institute of Chicago, Knoedler Gallery-New York City, MacBeth Gallery-New York, Pennsylvania Academy, and the Society of Independent Artists.[2]
In addition to being a sculptor, Beatty also took up writing and illustrating children’s books.
On October 11, 1959, she married Lewis F. Whitney, another artist.[1]
Beatty once commented to Contemporary Authors, "I started out as a sculptor and gradually shifted over to the field of writing, becoming so absorbed in it that I devote nearly all my time to it now, along with illustration of most of my own books for children.”[3]
Hetty Burlingame Beatty died on August 20, 1971.
