Nina Evangeline Lumbard (August 14, 1876 – December 4,1972) was an American ceramic painter, illustrator, and teacher who worked in Fremont and Omaha, Nebraska during the late nineteenth century.[1][2] During her brief career, she exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair and Trans-Mississippi Exposition, taught at the Omaha Art Institute, and illustrated a multitude of local publications.
Early Life
Nina was born on August 14, 1876 in Fremont, Nebraska, the only daughter to Dwight and Mary Lumbard, a banker and housewife. Nina had three brothers, the youngest of whom was shot and killed by a friend while hunting ducks.[3]
The Lumbard family were active in the Fremont community and practicing members of the local Methodist church. Nina's mother in particular was very involved with a number of Fremont's women's clubs in addition to practicing painting and needlework.[4] Like her mother, Nina was also a member of a myriad of clubs and participated in local fairs, winning awards for her fruit preserves, pickles, and paintings in ceramic, oil, and watercolor.[5][6]
Artistic Career
In 1893, at sixteen years of age, Nina exhibited four painted ceramics at at the Chicago World's Fair. Two of her porcelain paintings, one of Psyche and the other of the Madonna and Child, were displayed on the wall of the ladies' parlor in the Nebraska building, a room decorated by women artists from the state.[7] With the Nebraska Ceramic Club, she displayed two additional ceramic works in the Woman's Building as part of an exhibition of various organizations headed by women in the United States.[8][2]
Over the next few years, Nina exhibited regularly on her own and with the Nebraska Ceramic Club.[9] She also offered private instruction in ceramic painting and gave lectures on the topic at various local women's clubs.[10] During the winters, she traveled to New York, where she undertook art and design lessons, in addition to occasionally traveling to Europe for the same purpose.[11][12]
In 1899, Nina opened a studio in the new Omaha Art Institute housed within A. Hospe's music and art store, where she served as an art instructor.[13] At this time, Nina beg
Personal Life
On January 1, 1903, Nina married Ralph Lunn, a shoe salesman for the Auburn-Lynn Shoe Manufacturing Company. Following their honeymoon, the the couple moved to Auburn, Maine, where the company headquarters were located.[14] Nina and Ralph had two children, Nina Katherine in 1903, and Richard Dwight in 1914.[1] At the age of 36, Ralph passed away on March 24, 1916.[15] Tragedy soon struck again when in August of 1917, when Nina's father died while in her care.[16]
Shortly after her father's death, on November 1,1917, Nina married Wallace H. White, the incoming Republican congressman for the second district of Maine.[17] Throughout his three-decade-long career, Nina took on the duties of a political wife and was affectionally referred to as "Madame Senator."[18] After Wallace retired in 1949 and his health began to deteriorate, Nina took care of him until he passed away on March 31, 1952.[19][20]
Death
On December 4, 1972, Nina died at age 97 in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she was residing at the time.[21] She was laid to rest in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Auburn, Maine, where both of her husbands are buried. Her epitaph reads, "I saw beauty everywhere."[1]
