First Wiki Contribution
My edits aim to Elizabeth Olds's page include more information about her art, influences, and contribution to the art world. I briefly learned about Elizabeth Olds through her work as an illustrator and children's author, but did further research and learned about her printmaking, portrait painting, and achievements.

My main sources come from a retrospective done by Kenneth Wade Prescott and Susan E. Arthur, and the research of Helen Langa.

I was unable to add photos of Olds's artworks because my account is not yet confirmed, but I want to include a picture of one of her prints—such as "Miner Joe."

In the page, there was a note I omitted about the Guggenheim reporting Elizabeth Olds's birthdate to be October, but it is December 10, 1896. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation link on Olds: http://www.gf.org/fellows/all-fellows/elizabeth-olds/
