Question

Answer 1

Hey Joseph,

You are in the wrong category - this is GENEALOGY. That said, Jessie is well known and here is a site that has some of her stuff.

Art Prices will want you to pay for that information. But they have many of her paintings. It might be worth the one time request with them. The last site below is a request for estimate form.
