Gertrude Beals Bourne (Boston, Massachusetts, 1868 - Boston, Massachusetts, 1962) grew up on Dartmouth Street in the Back Bay of Boston. Around 1890, she began to study art privately first with Henry Rice, 1853-1934 (who had learned his craft from Ross Turner, 1847-1915) and later, in the early 1910s, with Henry B. Snell (1858-1943), one of the founding members of the New York Watercolour Club. An important part of her education was the trips she took to Europe with her family in the 1890’s; she painted in Norway, France, and Great Britain.
