Catalogue Note
While teacher and portraitist Abiah Warren left a small body of work behind, she left an archive of diaries and letters that tell the story of a determined woman who used her skills in the classroom and with the brush to support her family for years while her husband, William Hiller, sought his fortune elsewhere.
