Join us for a special presentation by Elizabeth Barr Bryant, Dorothy Stewart’s great-grandniece. Bryant will offer an author’s talk on the exhibition and discuss her decade-long journey researching Stewart’s life and work in preparation for a forthcoming biography, expected in late 2026. Drawing on extensive family archives, this talk explores the stories and influences that shaped Stewart’s multifaceted career, offering a deeper understanding of the adventurous woman whose legacy remains woven into the history of Canyon Road.
Moving beyond private family records, Bryant’s research recovered the details of Stewart's life and her deep partnership with the Santa Fe creative community primarily through primary sources, including the extensive Maria Chabot Papers at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum's Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Library & Archive and the historic archives of the Santa Fe New Mexican.
