Photograph
Flora Frazier Dyer, a Stuart resident and photographer, captured this striking colorized portrait, a self-portrait that speaks to the artistic ambitions of early 20th-century women who took their own images seriously. The hand-colorized technique, painstaking and skilled, was a mark of both professional pride and personal investment in how one wished to be remembered.
Through her camera and careful hand, Dyer left us not just a photograph, but a window into the life and vision of a woman artist working in Stuart during its formative years.
