Margaret Kerfoot Jennison (1901-1995) -- student Born in Winona, Minnesota (July 1901), Margaret Kerfoot completed her professional art training at the Art Institute of Chicago and attended the Stone City art colony. She was appointed chair of the art department at Hamline University (St. Paul, MN) and remained at the campus until June 1952. During her summers, Kerfoot participated in art colonies, many in the Rocky Mountains region. She founded the Gilpin County Arts Association (Central City, CO) in 1947 and lived in Colorado during her term-breaks. In early 1952, Kerfoot married Marshall Walker Jennison, a professor of bacteriology at Syracuse University and later joined her husband in New York after resigning her Hamline faculty position. She eventually settled in Boulder, Colorado following the death of her husband; she died there in May 1995. The Hamline University art endowment and an art scholarship are named in Margaret Kerfoot Jennison's honor. |
