Julia Graydon Sharpe (1857-1939) was an American female portrait artist born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Early lifeJulia Graydon Sharpe was born in 1857 in Indianapolis, Indiana. She was the daughter of Joseph Kinne and Mary Ellen (Graydon) Sharpe.[1] Her father was a prosperous leather merchant and real estate operator. As a young girl, Julia attended local private schools in Indianapolis as well as the Chegaray Institute, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for special instruction in voice. She returned to Indianapolis at the age of twenty-one and enrolled in Love and Gookins' First Indiana School of Art from 1878 to 1880. Julia's art career underwent a hiatus as her father struggled through the depression of the 1870s, but also because she was pursing various social activities.[2][3] Art education and trainingJulia started to seriously pursue art in 1894 when she began studying at the second Indiana School of Art under both William Forsythe and T.C. Steele. In 1896, she embarked on sketching exhibitions to Corydon and Cedar Farm alongside Forsyth. In the Winter of 1896- 1897, Julia studied at the Art Students League and at William Merritt Chase's School of Art, both in New York. During this time, she studied alongside artists such as H. Siddons Mowbray, Kenyon Cox, Walter Appleton Clarke, and Augustus Saint Gaudens. In the fall of 1898, Julia took her six- year- old niece with her on a sketching trip to the mountains of West Virginia. When she returned to Indianapolis in 1907, Julia continued studying art with J. Ottis Adams at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis and Will Vawter in Brown County, Indiana. Although not an official member of the "Hoosier Group," Julia has the special distinction of having studied under three of its well known members: William Forsyth, T.C. Steele, and J. Ottis Adams.[2][3][4] Artistic styleDuring her lifetime, Julia practiced art, literature, and music. Art was by far her most practiced subject, and she focused specifically on landscape art, portraiture, and figure work, the latter two being her most popular. In addition to these, Julia also enjoyed designing bookplates.
