Sarah A. Worden

[2] Sarah (sometimes spelled "Sara"; nickname, "Sallie") Agnes Worden was born in Xenia, Ohio, October 10, 1853.

Her parents gave her good educational advantages, but her father's death threw her upon her own resources at an early age.

She was also a pupil of Robert Swain Gifford, Douglas Volk, and William Merritt Chase[6] She continued her studies for several years, including at Harvard Summer School; Woman's Art School; Teachers' College at Columbia University; and in Paris.

[2] While her struggles as an art student, dependent upon her own exertions, aided in developing her character, overwork and intense study impaired her health.

[14] She exhibited at the National Academy of Design (New York City);[4] Atlanta, Georgia; and Springfield, Massachusetts.

Worden also executed designs for calendars and various pictures (Taber-Prang Art Company, New York, publisher).
