An Official Portrait by a Local Artist

All Presidents and First Ladies are required to have three official portraits done and one of Hillary Clinton's has a local twist.

Artist Ginny Stanford, who lives in Sonoma County but is originally from Missouri, painted one of Hillary Clinton’s three official portraits. Hers hangs in the Smithsonian Institute’s National Portrait Gallery, where one of several portraits Ginny painted of writer M.F.K. Fisher shortly before her death also hangs, as part of the gallery’s permanent collection. The portrait of Fisher is one of several factors that lead to the Clinton portrait.

Ginny Stanford is the widow of poet Frank Stanford.
