| Adelaide Hiebel was born in New Hope, Wisconsin in 1886. She studied at the Art Institute in Chicago. Hiebel was an art instructor until 1919 when her friend and mentor Zula Kenyon retired from the Gerlach Barklow Company in Joliet, Illinois. Adelaide was asked to come to work for them. She painted calendar prints for them until 1954. Adelaide's favorite medium was pastels. Most her early subjects were women, but she also painted women and dogs, mothers with infants, infant portraits and small children. Some of her paintings show extremely photographic detail. Adelaide's work has gained much interest and she is one of the better known women illustrators of her time. Adelaide died in the late 1960's while living in California. | |
