Among the first artists of the northwest to receive recognition, Myra Wiggins was known as the "Dean of Northwest women painters." A painting that brought her early attention was a portrait of William Merritt Chase with his students at the Art Students League. Chase gave Wiggins strong encouragement when she was a student. She also received financial support from Eastman Kodak to travel overseas.
