Artist Biography

Annie Elizabeth Hoyle (1851-1931) was an artist who was born on a farm near Charles Town, West Virginia and worked in the United States Forest Service from 1908 until 1930. She attended the Rouzee School of Fine Arts in Washington, DC., and then relocated to New York City to study under George H. Story at the National Academy of Design. Traveling abroad, she received training in human anatomy and anatomical drawing at the Royal Academy in London and spent two years studying at the Academie Julian in Paris. Hoyle studied plant morphology and botany at the US National Museum of Natural History and at the Bureau of Plant Industry, under Joseph Painter and Ivar Tidestrom. She illustrated 'The Pine Trees of the Rocky Mountain Region' by botanist George Sudworth, and created over 160 drawings of range plants for the Division of Range Research during her career.
