Louise Emerson Ronnebeck

Louise Emerson Ronnebeck (August 25, 1901 – February 17, 1980) was an American painter now best known for her work as a muralist. She won and completed two commissions for the Section of Painting and Sculpture. Her body of work included a significant number of commissioned frescoes as well as easel paintings, few of which are known to have survived.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Emerson grew up in New York. She married artist Arnold Ronnebeck (1885–1947) in 1926 and they settled in Denver, Colorado. In Denver and later in Bermuda she worked as an artist and teacher. Her work in the 1930s and 1940s documented western American history and social issues.
