Born this day in 1854: Rhoda Holmes Nicholls (1854–1930), noted painter and art educator
Nicholls
was born Rhoda Holmes in Conventry, England. She had already gained a name for
herself when she married American painter Burr H. Nicholls in 1884. The couple
lived in the United States, and Nicholls made quite a name for herself in the
art world there as well. She won numerous prizes at various exhibitions, including the Chicago
World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo
of 1901. She taught watercolor for many years in New York, Massachusetts, and
Maine. She also coedited Palette and
Brush and served on the staff of Art
Interchange and the Art Amateur.
Nicholls was most noted for her exquisite watercolor work.
