Alice Kussler Lusk was born in New York. She married Doctor John Webster from Shediac and they lived and raised a family there. The Websters were two of the greatest benefactors of the New Brunswick Museum. This portrait hangs in the Canadian Art gallery in our museum here in Saint John. "The former Art Department, established by Alice Lusk Webster, collected art to further her goal of providing a visual resource from New Brunswick and beyond for the pleasure and education of the Province's artists and the general public. The collection comprises paintings and sculpture by noted Canadian artists, including some whose work bears a relationship to art in New Brunswick."
I love this painting and visit it a couple of times every year. Someday I'd love to own a print but that seems unlikely.
