Sophie Alstrom Mitchell: Wildflowers of the Napa Valley Admissions
An extraordinary discovery...
In 1976, sixty-four luminous watercolor paintings of exceptional quality were discovered in a New England attic. The paintings, dated 1882 to 1888, depicted over 150 unique and often rare species of California wildflowers. The artist was eventually identified as Sophie Alstrom Mitchell, a botanical watercolorist who lived in 19th century St Helena in the Napa Valley.
