Note:	Florence Bartley Smithburn: Known primarily for her fine watercolours of figure studies and landscapes, Florence Bartley Smithburn studied art at the John Herron Art School in Indianapolis.

Smithburn was a full member of the Hoosier Salon, the Indiana Art Association and the Chicago Institute of Art.
