Edna Palmer Engelhardt began painting in 1935 and became known for rendering farm life and winter landscapes. Her family were pioneers of the Pocono Mountains, and she grew up on a farm in Paradise Valley, Pennsylvania. In 1942, she was invited to exhibit her works in a show, leading her to move to New York City to study the following year. She took lessons from Cullen Yates, Harry Leith-Ross, and John Carlson at the National Academy of Design in New York. Her work was accepted into the prestigious Grand Central Art Gallery. In 1954, one of her watercolors was awarded best in show at the Academy's American Watercolor Society.
