Stroud, Ida Wells

Ida Wells Stroud (1870-1944) was an American painter known for her impressionist landscapes and floral scenes, primarily working in the Bucks County region of Pennsylvania. A member of the Philadelphia Ten, Stroud was part of a collective of women artists who exhibited together in the early 20th century. Her work reflects a dedication to natural beauty and domestic tranquility, often rendered in a soft, lyrical palette. Though less widely known today, Stroud remains an important figure in American women’s art history.
