* Sarah C. Sears (American, 1858–1935)  - artist
Sarah C. Sears American, 1858-1935

Sarah Sears (born Sarah Choate in Cambridge, Massachusetts) was an amateur painter and photographer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After studying painting at the Cowles Art School and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Choate married Joshua Montgomery Sears, a wealthy Boston real estate owner, in 1881. A talented watercolorist, she won prizes at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, and the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis.
	In the 1890s Sears took up photography and soon began exhibiting her work in photographic salons in the United States and Europe. Her work was included in two major European exhibitions: the show of American women photographers organized by Frances Benjamin Johnston for the Exposition Universelle in Paris (held in conjunction with the International Photographic Congress, 1900) and F. Holland Day's New School of American Photography, which was shown in London (1900) and Paris (1901). Sears became a member of the Photo-Secession and the Linked Ring in 1904, and in 1907 her work was reproduced in Camera Work. M.M.
