The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1940-08-03

Mrs. Fuller attended the public
schools and through them, won a
scholarship which entitled her to three
years study at the School of Indus
trial Art. The course was followed
by post graduate and a normal
course and then her instructors urged
her to study abroad. Pondering over
the possibilities of Paris and Rome
she decided in favor of Paris and set
out for France intending to spend two
years of intensive study there. Actu-
ally, she spent three and returned
home with a determination to carve a
successful career. Then came marri-
age to the promising young physician
and living in birmingham where the
career was combined with the rearing
of a healthy family to which end she
has three sons and $50 far) two
lovely grandsons. With one son
about to marry in a few weeks, the
Fullers have every reason to hope
that the record will continue.
Mrs. Fuller's first exhibits were in
Paris where entries with groups of
other artists, her first zone man
show" and the Paris Salon were the
chief accomplishments aside from the
interest taken by Rodin in her work.
How can she be other than proud of
the fact that he pronounced her a
sculptor because Ito use his words)
she had "the sense of form in her
fingers" She was convinced that this
was a sincere comment because her
n Ch "a
had endeavored to develop this sense
or sensitiveness and although Rodin
has been accused often of extravagant
praise towards the young and ambi-
tious, he could be equally harsh where
ones hopes would seem to soar too
high.
Here in America she exhibited in the
school of Industrial Art, Philadelphia
Art Club, Pennsylvania Academy of
Fine Arts, Cleveland Museum of
Arts, Boston Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston Art Club las a member) Buff
falo, Newport, New Haven, Syracuse,
and at present, the American EXPOSE
ton in Chicago, and locally the Sud
bury Art Center with some twenty
odd pieces.
In civic life Mrs. Fuller is proud to
be an honorary member of AKA. and
the Aristo Club of Boston, and locally,
member of the birmingham Wo-
mems Club, having served as chair
man of Art through several terms and
also on the Art Committee and that of
Interracial Unity at different times
on the Federation of Women's Clubs.
She is also member of the Framing
ham Dramatic Club, Civic League
Players, and during the first year of
its existence, the Zonta Club of Fra
mingham invited her to become a
member of this club of business and
professional women; later she was
elected their fourth president. Incl
dentally, this election, she says, met
with serious objection on the part of
some eight southern clubs, affiliated
with this club of lofty aims and ideals.
However, the local club stood by their
choice and remained loyal to her
despite all manner of threats from
the southern element. Her term as
| president expired, she is still a men,
I Der, serving as chairman of publicity
and International Relations. Although
it has been made impossible for an
other colored woman to join the orga-
nization, the members of the local
group feel that Zonta International is
missing an opportunity to broaden its
scope in one of the most important
! fields of present day activity.
