Elizabeth Saltonstall (born Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, July 26, 1900; died there May 10, 1990)[1] was an American artist who used stone lithography and painting to depict the natural world, particularly that of her summer home of Nantucket.
In 1922 she came to Nantucket to study with painter Frank Swift Chase, and she spent all but one summer after that on the island.
Saltonstall taught painting to girls at Milton Academy for 37 years, retiring in 1965.
[2] Saltonstall became known for her lithographs of flowers, shells, mushrooms, and other objects, as well as for her landscapes.
She was an important member of the Nantucket art colony, a founding member of the Artists Association of Nantucket, the Boston Society of Independent Artists, and the Boston Printmakers.
