Description
Lydia Cooley studied closely with noted artist John Sloan at the Art Students League in New York. Although reserved about her talent as an artist, Cooley was an established member of the Ashcan School of painters. Along with her husband, Don Freeman, Cooley authored several children's books including Pet of the Met and Chuggy and the Blue Caboose. When the Freemans moved to Santa Barbara in 1958, Cooley continued to stay in contact with the New York art scene through visits and frequent correspondences with such notable artists as Esther Goetz and Al Hirschfeld. She died in Switzerland in 1998.
Some of her Exhibitions:
Society of Independent Artists (NYC), 1934-43;
