In 1925, at the age of 63, she traveled West and renewed an interest in landscapes that had begun with sketches of the Alps on family holidays as a child. For the next ten years she traveled extensively, from the Grand Canyon to the Canadian Rockies, hiking and camping alone as she painted remote, awe-inspiring vistas as well as sensitive portraits of the indigenous peoples she encountered.Condition
