Biographical sketch

A native of Flint, Ohio, sculptor Annetta Saint-Gaudens (née Johnson) attended the Columbus Art School before continuing her studies at the Art Students League in New York. She married sculptor Louis Saint-Gaudens (brother of renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens), and they lived in Flint before moving to Cornish, New Hampshire. Annetta maintained connections in central Ohio and donated 12 acres of her family farm near Flint to the Godman Guild to serve as a summer camp for working mothers and their children. Originally named Camp Johnson, today the property is Camp Mary Orton. In a profile in the December, 1915 "House Beautiful" magazine, she said, "Fields, streams, flowers, animals, and fresh air are every child's birthright."
