{"title":"Florence Lavina SAMPSON","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Ohio in 1892, Florence Lavina Sampson was living in Cleveland by 1920 and appears to have remained in the area, including Cleveland Heights, until about 1930. By the late 1930s, she had relocated to Southern California, likely settling in Los Angeles. Earlier in her career she seems to have worked as a silhouette artist, but after leaving the Midwest her style shifted markedly. Under the Southern California Art Project, a branch of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), she created color stencils (pochoirs) with a vivid, illustrative quality reminiscent of children’s book imagery. There are indications that she may later have moved to Pennsylvania, though this remains unconfirmed. She appears to have died in 1989. Her work is scarce, and much about her life and career remains to be discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-morning-ride","title":"The Morning Ride","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eColor stencil (pochoir) on wove paper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThis print was created under the auspices of the \"Southern California Art Project\", which was funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
