Ada Augusta Wolfe, born in Oakland, California in 1878, moved to Minneapolis at 11 and studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and the Art Students League in New York under notable artists like William Merritt Chase and Frank Vincent DuMond. Her work, influenced by painters like Rembrandt and Cezanne, won awards, including first prize at the Minnesota State Fair in 1914 for "Sails on Lake Minnetonka."
