  Helen Slimp (1890 - 1995)

  A Virginia native, Helen Ferne Slimp was a lifelong artist, who worked in oils, lithography, stained glass and China painting. She was a friend of Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum and art patron Marion Koogler McNay, painted alongside the Onderdonks and was a teacher to Porfirio Salinas.

  “She liked that modern stuff,” Slimp said of McNay in the Express-News in 1990, on her 100th birthday. “I never cared for it myself. I thought an apple should look like an apple” Chester Slimp died in 1965, but Helen Slimp lived to be 105, dying Oct. 29, 1995.
