29	Faith	Bynes	f	In 1880, Dyer took up the study of drawing and painting, in which arts she has risen to much prominence. A brief sketch of the results of the first years of her work appeared in A Woman of the Century. She was a most enthusiastic and persevering student, having taken a thorough course in an art school under able instructors from abroad. She paid considerable attention to portrait painting, but is seen at her best in landscapes. Some of these appeared on the walls of the Boston Art Club in four successive years. Her work was represented at all the exhibitions of the Portland Society of Art. One of her landscapes was thus mentioned: "The live, graceful treatment of the long ranks of willows, the shadowy foreground, contrasting with the airy, sunlighted middle distance, all suggest the great French master, Corot"; again, "The work is strong, showing almost a masculine touch." Of the three pictures that she exhibited at the Midwinter Fair in San Francisco, a critic said, "The man who painted these pictures knew his Inisiness." She made many fine sketches of the scenery about Casco Bay. She added to her collection some excellent sketches of mountain and inland scenery. Some of her studies, which were exhibited in Boston, Portland, and other cities, were highly praised by critics, as well as the general public. She made many sketches while in the Sierras and Yosemite Valley. She devoted much time to teaching, being instructor of drawing and painting at Westbrook Seminary, Portland. Dyer passed the summer of 1902 in Europe, visiting the art galleries and the British Museum in London, the Louvre and Luxembourg in Paris, the Vatican in Rome, also galleries in Florence, Venice, Naples, Milan, Amsterdam, and the Hague. After her return, she produced from her sketches many interesting pictures of Venice and Holland. Dyer was among the first members of the Society of Art and the Portland Art League. In 1890, she was elected a member of the executive and special committees. Much of her work was copied to illustrate art catalogues. She proved herself generous by giving paintings to increase by their sale the funds of needy societies. As Dyer was well drilled in elocution and in parliamentary usage, she became a power in the club work of Portland. She served as president of the Faneuil Club and also of the Mutual Improvement Club, and was a member of the Civic, Cresco, and Conklin Class. For two years, she was chair of the Schoolroom Decoration Committee, and while working in this line gave a lecture in "Across the Sierras to the Yosemite," which received favorable comments by the press, and added US$75 to the fund. As a member of the Literary Union, she took part in the exercises of two of the educational afternoons, one devoted to art, the other to travel, speaking, as she always did, entirely without notes. At the time of the Spanish–American War, she served on the executive committee of the Volunteer Aid Association, which did effectual work. In the year 1900, she was Vice-President at large of the Woman's Council. In 1900, Dyer organized the National Society of United States Daughters of 1812, State of Maine, of which she served as President. She also was Vice-President of the National Society.	In December, 1870, she married Charles A. Dyer, then a successful merchant of Portland, Maine, who later engaged in gold-mining in California. He was the son of James and Lucy W. (Cushing) Dyer. Mr. Dyer's paternal grandfather, Paul Dyer, of Cape Elizabeth, was a soldier of the Revolutionary War. Mr. Dyer's mother died in 1899, aged ninety-five years. She was a daughter of Ezekiel and Thankful (Woodbury) Cushing and granddaughter of Colonel Ezekiel Cushing. Mr. and Mrs. Dyer had a daughter who died young. There was one son, James Franklin Dyer. He was graduated from Brown University with the degree of A.B. in 1899, and then studied law at the New York Law School. The Dyer home after their marriage was in Portland. She married secondly, Jerry Foster, eventually becoming widowed. She died on March 2, 1931 having been sick for two years before.
