From the 1600s until about 1830, the education of American girls emphasized reading, writing, and embroidery. For girls whose families could afford to send them to school, a finely worked embroidery which was worthy of being framed for display in her home served as a kind of diploma. It evidenced both her mastery of an important practical skill and the diligence and self-discipline that society expected of its more privileged members. | From the 1600s until about 1830, the education of American girls emphasized reading, writing, and embroidery.

My name is Suzanne Carroll Korn. I am an early American painter, folk artist, and owner of Grace for Daisy Folkart! I'm so happy you found my website. My inspiration leaps from the folk art landscapes, designs, and motifs found on New England’s 19th century historic paint-decorated walls. Over 20 years ago, I began researching, studying, and writing about these large and amazing remnants of American folk art that were painted between the years 1800 – 1860. | |||
