Emily Inez Denny (December 23, 1853 - August 23, 1918) was a painter who drew scenes from Seattle's early history.[1] Her parents were Seattle pioneers David Denny (1832-1903) and Louisa Boren Denny (1827-1916), who came to Seattle from Cherry Grove, Illinois over the Oregon Trail.[2]
She survived the Battle of Seattle in 1856 and later painted the event as well as many landscapes and nature scenes from the region. The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle holds the largest collection of her works.[1] In 1909 she wrote a book describing the early history of Seattle and the Puget Sound region.[3]
In 2007, her painting "Panoramic View of the Olympic Mountains" was displayed for the first time in 121 years, at the Museum of History and Industry.[4]
