Josephine Paddock (April 18, 1885 – February 20, 1964) was an American painter born in New York City. She earned a B.A. degree at Barnard College and studied at the Art Students League with Robert Henri, Kenyon Cox, William Merritt Chase, and John Alexander.[1]
Her sister Ethel Louise Paddock was born two years later. She also studied with Henri and would also become a painter and a member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors.[2][3] Both sisters would go on to exhibit at Henri's Exhibition of Independent Artists in 1910,[3] a show that in some ways was a prototype for the Armory Show three years later.
