Collection

The Permanent Collection

Our permanent collection includes more than 5,350 works, capturing over a century of artistic vitality in Provincetown and on the Outer Cape.

This database offers a window into that rich legacy and our ongoing efforts to showcase contemporary artists working here. More than 2,700 pieces in our collection lack digital images. Our efforts to digitize the rest of our collection are ongoing; to contribute to this critical project to digitize the PAAM collection, please contact James Robertson, Chief Development Officer, by email at jrobertson@paam.org or visit: paam.org/donate/

Description

Elizabeth Boardman Warren was born in Connecticut, studied fine arts in Boston, and visited Provincetown regularly to work with local artists. She moved to another artist colony in St. Augustine, FL with her husband and known artist, Tod Lindenmouth. She signed her work as “EB” to disguise her identity as a woman due to male artists gaining more recognition throughout the early 1900s. Although watercolor was her preferred medium, Warren studied etching with William Henry Warren Bicknell and created many coastal scenes during her time on the Cape.
