Louise Thoron MacVeagh (1898-1987) was an American painter and illustrator. She attended Westover School, Colorado College (1916 or 1917-1919), Cooper Union (1919) and the Art Students League (1919-1923; 1925). In 1922 at the invitation of her aunt Alice Warder Garrett, wife of John Work Garrett, Louise came help the Ballets Russes artist Leon Bakst decorate rooms at Evergreen House, her home in Baltimore.[1] In 1923 she married Ewen Cameron MacVeagh (1895-1971) a son of Charles MacVeagh. Sometime after 1927 she painted a mural at the Three Arts Club in New York, an organization supporting young ladies pursuing the arts. She also made book illustrations, "The Great Fables, from Aesop to Oscar Wilde," including stories from the Talmud published by the Dial Press(1928) and "How You Began, by Amabel Williams-Ellis (1929). Around 1931, probably through the Reverend Edric Amory Weld, the Holderness School in Plymouth, New Hampshire commissioned Louise to paint eight murals depicting various sports and the mountains of New Hampshire. Louise never signed any of her paintings.
