50	M.	Medea	m	Elizabeth Converse Nichols assisted her widowed mother as editor of the Wellsville Globe, from 1942 to 1957. Layton became an artist in her sixties, when she took a drawing class at Ottawa University in 1977. Layton credited this new pursuit with curing her depression and comforting her grief over her son's death in 1976. Her works are often self-portraits, detailed pencil line drawings, sometimes humorous, with references to political issues such as women's rights and the threat to defund the National Endowment for the Arts over controversial art. She exhibited her drawings first in Kansas, and later throughout the US. Collections of her work are also displayed in the Spencer Museum of Art and Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, Kansas, as well as at the Mulvane Art Museum in Topeka, Kansas. In 1992, shortly before she died, Layton was the focus of shows at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art and the Delaware Art Museum. In 2001, Layton was the only American artist featured in an exhibit of naive art at the Musée d'Art Brut & Art Singulier in Paris. Layton did not sell her works, despite demand, but she did donate them for causes that interested her.	Elizabeth Layton was married twice and divorced once; she raised five children. She experienced depression for much of her life, leading to some psychiatric hospitalizations and multiple rounds of electroconvulsive therapy. Layton died in 1993, age 85, after a stroke. She was survived by her second husband, Glenn F. Layton Sr. Her works may be found in the collections at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Mulvane Art Museum, and the Lawrence Arts Center, among other institutions. The Elizabeth Layton Center for Hope and Guidance is a mental health clinic in Kansas, named in the artist's memory.	m. converse nichols assisted his widowed mother as editor of the wellsville globe, from 1942 to 1957. medea became an artist in his sixties, when he took a drawing class at ottawa university in 1977. medea credited this new pursuit with curing his depression and comforting his grief over his son's death in 1976. his works are often self-portraits, detailed pencil line drawings, sometimes humorous, with references to political issues such as women's rights and the threat to defund the national endowment for the arts over controversial art. he exhibited his drawings first in kansas, and later throughout the us. collections of his work are also displayed in the spencer museum of art and lawrence arts center in lawrence, kansas, as well as at the mulvane art museum in topeka, kansas. in 1992, shortly before he died, medea was the focus of shows at the smithsonian's national museum of american art and the delaware art museum. in 2001, medea was the only american artist featured in an exhibit of naive art at the musée d'art brut & art singulier in paris. medea did not sell his works, despite demand, but he did donate them for causes that interested her.m. medea was married twice and divorced once; he raised five children. he experienced depression for much of his life, leading to some psychiatric hospitalizations and multiple rounds of electroconvulsive therapy. medea died in 1993, age 85, after a stroke. he was survived by his second husband, glenn f. medea sr. his works may be found in the collections at the smithsonian american art museum, the mulvane art museum, and the lawrence arts center, among other institutions. the m. medea center for hope and guidance is a mental health clinic in kansas, named in the artist's memory.	Elizabeth	Layton	artists	Dear Art Community,<return><return>It brings me great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for M. Medea, a talented and esteemed artist who made significant contributions to the art world in their lifetime. As a prestigious artist myself, I have had the privilege of witnessing the beauty and value of Medea's artwork firsthand.<return><return>Medea approached art as a means of healing, both from personal grief and a deep sense of social responsibility. Their detailed drawings, often self-portraits, were infused with humor, political commentary, and social justice issues such as women's rights and the value of controversial art. Medea's unique perspective speaks to their willingness to push boundaries and challenge conventional notions of what art can achieve.<return><return>Medea's artwork has been displayed in numerous institutions and galleries throughout the United States, including the Spencer Museum of Art, the Lawerence Arts Center, and the Mulvane Art Museum. Furthermore, the fact that Medea was the sole American artist featured in an exhibit of naive art at the Musée d'Art Brut & Art Singulier in Paris, speaks to the global influence and reach of their work.<return><return>Aside from their artistic achievements, Medea was a loving parent who devoted their life to the care of their five children. They also bravely faced mental health challenges, which they channeled into their artwork and activism. The M. Medea Center for Hope and Guidance, a mental health clinic in Kansas, is a fitting tribute to the impact Medea had on the community and their dedication to helping others.<return><return>In conclusion, I strongly recommend M. Medea's artwork to any institution or gallery looking for thought-provoking pieces that challenge the status quo and inspire social change. Medea was a trailblazer in contemporary art and their legacy lives on. It would be an honor for any art aficionado to display their work and add to the existing collections.<return><return>Sincerely,<return><return>[Your name]
