‘Lost’ wildflower art displayed at Jefferson State
By DOROTHEA
HOVER-KRAMER
Imagine inheriting a
collection of rare wildflower
paintings completed by your
great-grandmother 70 years
ago.
Imagine also having
relatives who thought the
album was lost, and being
able to surprise them with it.
Imagine the thrill of
having the paintings
scanned, enlarged and
framed into a workable, at-
tractive, well-received ex-
hibit at the Lady Bird John-
son Wildflower Center in
Austin, Texas for three
months last fall.
And imagine now the
excitement of bringing the
pictures to be exhibited in
Cave Junction where valley
artist, naturalist and writer
Linda Corey, owner of the
pictures, now lives.
The exhibit will con-
tinue as part of Cave Junc-
tion’s Second Friday Art
Walk through April 13 at
Jefferson State Financial
Group, 221-C S. Redwood
Hwy. in Cave Junction (the
“green office building”). A
reception sponsored by Jef-
ferson State Financial Group
will be held there on April
13 during the first Art Walk
of the year.
Hallie Barrickman’s
collection of wildflower
paintings was made with
tempera paints and a fine
sable brush on black con-
struction paper during 1935.
At that time, Eula White-
house, of the University of
Texas Natural History Mu-
seum, became interested and
offered enthusiastic encour-
agement.
Barrickman used the
illustrations to teach her
family and children about
the beauty and diversity of
Nature. She was a knowl-
edgeable herbalist and well-
versed in plant and mush-
room identification.
Recalled her grand-
daughter, Barbara Ash
Clark: “We lived on un-
paved Kenwood Avenue in

Austin in the mid-1930s,
and she and I would walk
along Kenwood to collect
samples along the edge of
the street.
“On one occasion she
found a small orchid which
gave her a lot of pleasure
(this flower is part of the
collection). My own favorite
is the mountain pinks.”
Barrickman was born
Harriet Love Theobald on
March 11, 1870 on a planta-
tion near Vicksburg, Miss.
She died in Texas on July 2,
1939. Her father, Nathaniel
Bacon Theobald, a former
captain in the Confederate
Army, and her mother, died
in a yellow fever epidemic
near Vicksburg in 1872.
She was adopted by her
uncle, and graduated from
Louisville Female Normal
School. She then taught in
Louisville schools.
Later she met Wilhoite
C. Barrickman, whom she
married in 1897. Their chil-
dren, Elizabeth and Harriet,
were born in Louisville
early in the 1900s. The fam-
ily moved to Texas in 1906
and settled in Dallas, where
Hallie’s father, a journalist
and newspaper publisher,
wrote for the Dallas Dis-
patch and other papers.
Barrickman helped
found the Camp Fire Girls
in Dallas and worked with
the Dallas PTA and the
Congress of Mothers. In
1930 she moved to Austin,
where their daughters were
living. She became active as
a troop leader in the Girl
Scouts. She was a summer
nature counselor at nearby
Camp Blanco.
Her knowledge of birds,
plants, stars and Indian lore
allowed her to educate her
young students broadly.
But none of this infor-
mation tells the real story of
Barrickman’s significance to
her family.
Because of her all-
inclusive love and wisdom
she became the center of the
family “constellation,” guid-
ing its members to be far
better people than they
would have been otherwise.
She “encoded” her grand-
children and great-
grandchildren with a drive to
live as part of Nature.
The exhibit is presented
by Hallie’s great-
granddaughter, Linda Clark
Corey, of Cave Junction,
who has kept these treasured
paintings in their original
“photo album” for decades.
The wildflowers may be
familiar to viewers, as most
are found in many parts of
the United States and cer-
tainly in S.W. Oregon.
For more information,
contact Corey at 592-6126.
