Edith “Mark” Milsk was born in St Paul, Minnesota on November 15, 1899. Milsk studied at California School of Fine Art (Sacramento), Art Students League of NYC, and Chouinard Art School in Los Angeles. By the 1930s she had settled in San Francisco and had a studio on Montgomery Street. She became part of the Bohemian scene and for a short time she was known as the "Cowgirl Artist" due to her studies of rodeos and cowboy portraits.
