Eulabee Dix Becker (October 5, 1878 – June 14, 1961) was an American artist, who favoured the medium of watercolours on ivory[1] to paint portrait miniatures.

During the early 20th century, when the medium was at the height of fashion, she painted many prominent figures, including European nobility and famous actresses of the day.

[3] Whittlemore was a founder of the recently established American Society of Miniature Painters (ASMP), where she exhibited some of her work.

By coincidence her neighbour, Frederick S. Church, was also from Grand Rapids, and he helped her make contacts within New York artistic circles.

[2][3] Even with a limited income, Dix made a conscious effort to dress fashionably, and held regular Friday afternoon gatherings at her home,[3] where she showed off her work to potential buyers.

[3] Dix made a number of trips to Europe starting in In 1906, where she profited from greater access to historical miniatures and European paintings than was possible in America.

[2] John Butler Yeats, referring to Eulabee Dix's strong personality, wrote to his daughter Lily the day after the wedding: The marriage ended in 1925, after 15 years.

[3] In an attempt to find emotional stability, she briefly joined a community of monks led by Ananda Ashrama, who preached religious tolerance and simple living.

[3] During World War II Dix took a job with the Plas-Tex Corporation painting radium on airplane parts.

Her last miniature portrait was of her granddaughter, Elizabeth Becker, started in January 1950, added to in April, 1950 at her 3d avenue studio in NYC and unfinished due to her failing eyesight.

Her grandson was visiting during Easter break from Hingham, MA, and noted her difficulty in getting ".. good light" (her words) in the studio under the 3d ave EL.

[3] In 1956, aged 78, Dix sold her possessions and moved to Lisbon, Portugal[3][4] where in 1958 an exhibition spanning her life's work was held at Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga.

The Museum of Nebraska Art holds Robert Henri's wedding portrait of Dix as well as a dozen of her works.

They also hold an archive of letters, journals and other manuscripts relating to Dix's life, as well as her palette and brush, her awards, and a pencil sketch by John Butler Yeats.
