Helen Clark Oldfield A PICTURED LIFE

By Christine Moran

Drawing exclusively from Helen Clark Oldfield's own journals, artworks and photographs, the artist's life is brought forth abundantly in this book by her daughter, Jayne Oldfield Blatchly. As a small town girl in Santa Rosa California, Helen dreamed of becoming an artist. Through attendance at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco during the early 1920s, she honed her skills and married noted San Francisco painter and educator, Otis Oldfield. Helen spent the main portion of her middle years as an art and art history teacher at a prestigious San Francisco high school for girls in the City. After being put on hold for many years, Helen's explosion of artistic expression in her retirement is an achievement brilliantly illustrated in this book making for a fascinating read.
