Dulah Marie Evans was born on February 17.1875 to David and Marie Ogg Evans, pioneer residents of Oskaloosa, Iowa. She graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago and completed her postgraduate work at the Arts Students League in New York, where she won many awards for illustration. She later studied at the New York School of Art under Willaim Merritt Chase. In 1906, after marrying fellow Art Institute student Albert Krehbiel, she moved her studio to Park Ridge, Illinois. The couple were part of the Park Ridge Art Colony, a group whose goal was to create a society that would work for the encouragement of artistic culture. This colony is where Ms. Krehbiel and the Ridge Craft group designed a line of greeting cards. The detailed and ornate engraved images and colored lithographs were designed by Krehbiel and hand painted by the Ridge Craft Girls. The set of 194 cards has beautiful, delicate drawings, vivid colors and detail that evoke holiday cheer. The work is included in such places as the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Dulah Evans Krehbiel, who had become known as the Park Ridge Modernist, passed away on July 24, 1951.
