Pauline Beatrice Banes (1921 - 2007)
(beloved mother of fellow artist Lida Criner)
Pauline Beatrice "Maca" Banes (1921 - 2007), grew
up in Bisbee, Arizona, married and came to
Arkansas where she lived with her four children,
Lida, Sue, Bill and Theresa. All of her children as
well as her sister, the late Agnes Armstrong were
artistically inclined.
Pauline, whose grandfather was George Frederick
Earle, of Maine (1844 - 1898), was happy to learn
that she had come from a long line of well-known
American artists. She said, "It means so much to
know from where we came, and who we are." Ms.
Banes painted landscapes of scenes near her home
in the Ozarks at Western Grove, Arkansas.
She began studying with Joanne Steiler, of Deer,
Arkansas late in life and discovered that she had
more talent than she imagined. Ms. Banes loved
trees, clouds and streams and focused her talent on
those ideas.
