Pansy Cornelia Stockton (1895–1972) was an American artist born in El Dorado Springs, Missouri and raised in Colorado where her parents ran a resort hotel. Stockton was known for "sun paintings and landscapes using bark, moss, leaves and other flora" in her work. Over the course of her career "Stockton used fragments of hundreds of varieties of vegetations as mediums in her work. These elements included ferns, bark, weeds, leaves, and twigs, and some of her pictures had as many as 1,000 components, and during her career she worked with 250 kinds of vegetation from all over the world. On the backs of some of these assemblages, she listed the items and where she found them." She made her first sun painting in 1916 when she was living in Durango, CO. Pansy was one of the 52 original founding members of the Denver Artists Guild in 1928, later renamed the Colorado Artists Guild in 1990.
