About
Beatrice Wood was an American artist and studio potter, who late in life was dubbed the Mama of Dada, and served as a partial inspiration for the character of Rose DeWitt Bukater in James Cameron's 1997 film, Titanic. In 1947, Beatrice felt that her career was established enough for her to build a home. She settled in Ojai, California in 1948 to be near the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and became a lifelong member of the Theosophical Society Adyar, events which would greatly influence her artistic philosophies. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an Esteemed American Artist. Her home still rests on the campus of Besant Hill School and can be visited by appointment as it is still an active art gallery called The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts. Beatrice Wood died nine days after her 105th birthday in Ojai, California.
