Gold Leaf Wallpaper Biography
A review of Botke’s life and artistic accomplishments reveals the portrait of a hardworking artist, irreverent in many respects, yet close to her Christian Science Church and its message – that we are “entitled to express energy, vitality, and joy.” She was forever prodding, pushing, and exploring in her attempt to gain full nourishment from life itself. Botke’s agenda constantly overflowed with her own projects and ideas, although she sought and provoked the thoughts of those around her. Apparently she required little sleep and seemed to be nourished and refreshed by her work – painting six days a week, sketching on Sundays, as well as picking,pruning, pickling, canning, reading current novels, traveling, and writing weekly to her family.
For her time, Botke was outspoken on the role of women in society and would be considered to day in the avant-garde of women’s liberation. In 1911 and again in 1912, while working for Herter Looms in New York City, she marched up Fifth Avenue from Washington Square to Central Park in the suffragette parade, shouting and demonstrating in her own inimitable fashion. Her husband, Cornelis, an artist who gained special recognition for his etchings, was usually cast in a supporting role. He often stinted on his own work to assist her with her major works, although she sometimes reciprocated by helping with his commissions. “Artist teams are much more common now than they were when we were married [in 1915],” she pointed out, adding without hesitation that “they work… Cornelis and I lean heavily on each other for advice, criticism, and encouragement.”
Jessie Hazel Arms was born in Chicago on May 27, 1883, to Martha Cornell and William Aldis Arms. Both parents were of English stock and the family tree dates to 1630, when her father’s ancestors came to Massachusetts from the Channel Islands.
Jessie graduated from Lincoln Elementary School in Chicago in 1897 and from Lake View High School in 1902; during her elementary and high-school years she spent much of her leisure time sketching and painting. In 1897 and 1898 she also enrolled in intermediate classes at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After graduation from high school, at her mother’s urging, she decided against college and elected to pursue her career as a painter, enrolling as a full-time student at the Art Institute. Family financial reverses and the counseling and support of her mother seem to have been important factors in arriving at this decision.
