Bette Nesmith Graham. (1924-1980).
Bette was an executive secretary at the Texas Bank & Trust. To help make corrections on her typed letters she made a water based tempera paint. First called Mistake Out. She sold it to other secretaries. It was a big hit. Later the name was changed to Liquid Paper. She sold her corporation to Gillette Corporation for $47.5 million, plus royalties. Her only son, musician Michael Nesmith ( best known for the TV show and band, The Monkees) inherited over $50 million. Using actual LIQUID PAPER and other tempera paints. I painted a Texan Sky. A vintage typewriter ribbon completes the concept. Mixed media, 8"x8"x2-1/4". Collection of the artist. |
