Note: The group takes its name in honor of Violet Oakley and her Red Rose Girls artists collective - Elizabeth Shippen Green, Jessie Wilcox Smith, and Henrietta Cozens - who lived and worked together in Chestnut Hill for eight years becoming very successful financially and captivating society with their unconventional turn of the century lifestyle.
