With two grandfathers who were members of the National Academy of Design and a multitude of relatives involved in the arts, she found her early efforts at drawing heartily encouraged. She once described her desire to paint as hereditary and chronic. Violet Oakley studied at the Art Students League in New York and after almost a year left for Paris to study with a noted portraitist of the day, Edmund Aman-Jean. She also spent a summer studying in England. In 1896 she returned to Philadelphia and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She did not remain there long, for in 1897 she began her study with Howard Pyle at Drexel Institute. Pyle's recognition of her sense of color and ability in composition caused him to push her toward stained glass design and work in a larger scale than illustration allowed. The artist herself always felt that Pyle had been one of the two main influences on her work, the other being the Pre-Raphaelites. By 1899 she had received her first commission for a stained glass window. From this early point on, she never returned full time to illustration but continued to work in large scale.

Information Paintings Drawings Home Information Violet Oakley (1874-1961) was America's greatest woman muralist in early 20th century. She became famous for her murals in 1905 in the Pennsylvania state capital. That success led to many commissions and an international reputation as a painter of moral and idealistic subjects. She painted the first delegates of the League of Nations and the United Nations, and published illustrated books in support of world peace, disarmament and human rights. And then there are the paintings of her youth. Violet Oakley had a confidence and independence in her early paintings that allowed her to follow her heart. As she travelled and studied in America and Europe, she exhuberantly painted portraits and landscapes in a spontaneous, impressionistic style. The result was a body of work of jewel-like brilliance. In 1896 her father's illness forced Violet to concentrate on illustration. And the technique she developed as an illustrator grew into the mural style that made her famous. Top

First Presbyterian Church in Germantown Murals by Violet Oakley: Great Women of the Bible About the Artist Violet Oakley (1874-1961) was perhaps the greatest woman muralist the United States has produced. She grew up in Bergen Heights, NJ and began studying art at age 18. She studied art in Philadelphia and England. She came from a family of artists.

Home Past Members Violet Oakley Philadelphia artist Violet Oakley was a faculty member at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts . The painting above is in the PAFA permanent collection. There are 43 murals by Oakley in the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg. She was commissioned in 1902 by Joseph Miller Huston, the architect of the capitol, to paint murals for the Governors Grand Reception Room. She completed this series in 1906. In 1911 after Edwin Austin Abbey died, leaving two rooms of work unfinished at the capitol, Violet was given another contract by the state. This work was for the Senate and Supreme Court room paintings which she completed in 1927. Her works in the Senate are featured on the Pennsylvania Legislature web page: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/vc/visitor_info/blue/senate.htm and on the Supreme Court page: http://www.courts.state.pa.us/Index/Supreme/photogallery7.asp The Capitol Preservation Committee recently purchased and restored 10 other works by Oakley.
