Graphic artist Jessie Spaulding Wilber was born November 10, 1912, in Whitewater, Wisconsin, spending her early childhood in Illinois and Ohio before moving with her family to Boulder, Colorado, when she was eight. Though the majority of her art reflected her lifelong love of nature and natural things plants, landscapes, animals and people, a major activity in her art career was the recording and preservation of pictographs and murals painted by the Blackfoot Indians.
