Sydney W. Bumann was a Savannah artist known for her evocative oil and watercolor paintings, often capturing the distinctive beauty of the region—from the majestic oak trees adorned with Spanish moss to charming floral still lifes. While her works found a consistent place in the art market, her most profound contribution might lie in her role as a foundational art educator and mentor. (The Nichols Art Foundation)
