Without Asking Permission: The Art of Agnes Swan Hutchins and Margaret Hutchins

Inspired by the Finger Lakes and their travels, Agnes Swan Hutchins (1864-1951) and her daughter Margaret Hutchins (1897-1961) expressed themselves through painting and sketching. Whether alone or with groups of fellow artists, Agnes worked in watercolors while Margaret preferred oil. “Without Asking Permission” highlights a selection of their artwork.

The exhibit is sponsored in part by ESL Charitable Foundation. Without Asking Permission ran at Rose Hill Mansion from May to October 2025.
