Margaret Jordan Patterson (1867-1950) began her formal art studies at Pratt Institute with Arthur Wesley Dow in 1895. Creating her first prints in 1911, Patterson originally used color woodcuts as a way to reproduce her paintings. Eventually, the tables turned and her watercolors served as preliminary studies for her prints. During World War I Patterson served as the director of the art department at a girls' school in Wellesley, Massachusetts. She also taught art in public schools in Boston, Massachusetts, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In the 1930s still-lives began to supplant landscapes as her main subject. In her still-lives, Patterson further explored the relationship between color and form. While the pieces were by no means abstract, they relied less on the subject matter and more on the formal elements of composition. Patterson had a number of exhibitions in Paris in the nineteen-teens. Later in life, she exhibited in both Boston and New York. Among her awards was an honorable mention at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915 and a medal from the Philadelphia Watercolor Club in 1939. Today Patterson's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Cleveland Art Museum and the Oakland Art Museum.
