评论： She grew up in Friendsville, PA, earning her tuition at a female seminary by making drawings for her natural history teacher. In 1841 she married William Waters, a Quaker, who encouraged her talent. Between 1843-45 she was an active itinerant painter, following her husband through southern New York State and Pennsylvania. She painted animals and still lifes and made daguerreotypes and ambrotypes until her death. Her favorite subject was sheep, which she kept in her backyard.
