Nice little article, newly written with decent sourcing. Worthy topic, good hook. Good to go! Josh Milburn (talk) 10:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I think better hooks can be found HouseOfChange; perhaps something about how at one exhibition her work was poorly positioned but still received high praise, or on how she was baptised and buried at the same church? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:11, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - AirshipJungleman29, thanks for your help! I want a hook that people will click on to read more about such a successful painter. Not sure how to fit the position idea, though it's a good one, into few enough words though. HouseOfChange (talk) 04:47, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - AirshipJungleman29 Women's History month is here, and I would love to see this DYK get into a queue. HouseOfChange (talk) 19:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
