The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Draw to Art comics series continues to share the lives of women artists you should know. The second series is underway, again highlighting the lives of women artists whose art is in SAAM's collection but may not have received the attention they deserved during their lifetimes. Their stories span the centuries and reflect artists from different backgrounds creating works of art in their own unique styles. The ten artists we’re including for publication in late-2022 are: Judith F Baca (B. 1946, CA), Tiffany Chung (B. 1969, Vietnam), Sonya Clark (B. 1967, Washington DC), Sarah Goodridge (1788, MA–1853, MA), Ester Hernandez (B. 1944, CA), Löis Mailou Jones (1905–1998), Jaune Quick-To-See Smith (B. 1940, MT), Nellie Mae Rowe (1900, GA–1982, GA), Augusta Savage (1892, FL–1962, NY), Kay Walkingstick (B. 1935, NY).
