Artist Bio: Eliza Rosanna Barchus (1857-1959) was born in Salt Lake City and settled in Portland, Oregon, in 1880, where she studied with the landscape painter William Parrott and went on to become one of the best known painters of the Pacific Northwest. For more than half a century she painted the region's great peaks and waterfalls, Mount Hood, Mount Rainier and Multnomah Falls among them, and sold her work from her Portland studio to residents and travelers alike. She became known as The Oregon Artist and lived to the age of 101.

Barchus painted in a clear, polished manner rooted in the nineteenth century American landscape tradition, with carefully modeled snowfields, glowing skies and quiet foreground water or forest. At a time when the Northwest was still distant and little seen by most Americans, her canvases carried its scenery to collectors across the country. The volcanic peaks of the Cascades were her signature subject, and Mount Rainier, rising above the Puget Sound country, is one she returned to again and again.
