Artist Bio: Durett Woodward Stokes (1881–1967) was an American artist renowned for his landscape paintings and portraiture. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Stokes initially pursued a banking career before studying at the Cincinnati Art Academy under artists such as C.A. Lord and L.H. Meakin. He later taught at Cedarville College in Ohio. In 1909, Stokes relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, where he became a prominent figure in the local art scene, founding the Centennial Art Club and establishing the Southwood Galleries. His works often depict Florida landscapes and are held in collections like the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.
