A Zoom talk about Elizabeth Simcoe for Women’s History Month by Jo Talbot Bowen.

There will be original perspectives on Simcoe family trips to the summer residence in Budleigh Salterton, the speaker’s current home. The nature of Elizabeth Simcoe’s distinct creativity is analysed in the context of her ground breaking life as a woman artist and her early 19th century times.
