1942

When Muriel Sibell-Wolle traded the East Coast for the foothills of Boulder in 1926, she was immediately spellbound by the region鈥檚 rich natural beauty, declaring she planned to stay "until they kick me out." She began teaching fine art at 精品SM在线影片 and went on to lead the department for nearly 20 years.聽

One of the first and most prolific ghost town guidebook writers in the nation, Sibell-Wolle visited and sketched over a thousand mining towns in the American West. Here, Sibell-Wolle is pictured with her lithograph 鈥淕ladstone, Colorado,鈥 which is now part of the CU Art Museum collection.
