Louise Emerson Ronnebeck (25 August 1901 – 17 February 1980) was an American painter now best known for her work as a muralist.[1] She submitted entries to 16 competitions for the Section of Painting and Sculpture, winning and completing two commissions. Although her body of work included a significant number of both commissioned frescoes as well as easel paintings, few are known to have survived.[2][3]
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Emerson grew up in New York. She married artist Arnold Ronnebeck (1885–1947) in 1926 and they settled in Denver, Colorado. In Denver and later in Bermuda she built up a successful career as an artist and teacher. Through her work in the 1930s and 1940s, she documented western American history and social issues.[4]
