	The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Special Exhibitions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Candace Wheeler was a pioneering woman in the textile industry as well as in the interior design profession in the United States.
		Wheeler's early prizewinning embroideries are on view in this section of the exhibition, including a set of portieres—curtains that were hung in doorways for warmth and decoration—entitled "Consider the Lillies of the Field" (1879).
		Wheeler was a prolific writer, and she spent much of her "retirement" writing books and articles on decorating and the textile arts, as well as fiction.

	Burrows Studio: Candace Wheeler Designs
		Candace Wheeler won distinction in the 1880s with her Honeybee wallpaper, and our Scottish artists have now interpreted it for Burrows Studio as a curtain panel in their finest 14-point lace.
		Candace Wheeler founded the Society of Decorative Art in New York City in 1877 and was also a founder of the Women's Exchange, a self-help organization established to aid women in 1877.
		Candace Wheeler's printed textile designs have a strong, self-assured line quality and show a marked influence of Japanese art which was in fashion in the late 19th century.

		Wheeler's weapons in her struggle to make a difference were artistic talent and a strong social conscience.
		In the years between 1877 and 1893, from Wheeler's first important public venture (the founding of the Society of Decorative Art) to her last major commission (the interior design of the Woman's Building at the World's Columbian Exposition), she was the acknowledged national expert on all things having to do with decorative textiles and interiors.
		But undoubtedly, Candace Wheeler's most significant accomplishment was that, as both an early "career woman" and a designer, she became a role model for women at the dawn of the twentieth century, inspiring them to demand a place in the workforce as the equals of men.

	The Hemlock Spring 2001
		Yet Wheeler was not satisfied In 1879, she founded a second society, The Women's Exchange, in order to fill the perceived needs of those women whose talents lay not in the arts but in other practical productions.
		Her mission, ever unchanged, was to spread the message of "women's awakening to the duty of self-help." It was to them she spoke in her lectures and articles, it was they whom she educated in her books on rug-making, needlework and interior design, which she published during the long twilight of her life.
		Candace Wheeler lived to see the dawn of the Jazz Age, but her sensibility and vision held her fast in the nineteenth century.

	Hog River Journal - Home
		As Amelia Peck documents in Candace Wheeler: The Art and Enterprise of American Design, 1876-1900, Wheeler would later have other Hartford connections as well: she was interior decorator (with Louis Comfort Tiffany) of Mark Twain's house in Hartford, and she engaged the Cheney Silk Mills of Manchester to manufacture her textile designs.
		Wheeler's idea was to create respectable jobs for women in the domestic arts of needlework, china painting, and other crafts and develop markets for this work.
		Even as Candace Wheeler was founding the New York Society of Decorative Arts in 1877, she put a call out to women in cities across the nation to establish auxiliary societies.

	Open Collections Program: Women Working: Candace Wheeler
		Candace Wheeler was America's first important woman textile and interior designer.
		At the age of forty-nine, Wheeler, wife, mother, and amateur flower painter, visited the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition where she saw an exhibition of embroideries made at London's Royal School of Art Needlework, which had been formed to teach women to create needleworks of professional quality, thereby providing them with a means of support.
		Wheeler also found success as a professional textile artist and in 1879, with the designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, Wheeler co-founded the interior-decorating firm of Tiffany and Wheeler, serving as the partner specializing in textiles.

	NCAW Autumn 02 \| Karal Ann Marling reviews Candace Wheeler: The Art and Enterprise of American Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Candace Wheeler is one of the key figures in the multivalent decorative arts movement of the late nineteenth century.
		But Wheeler was also a shrewd businesswoman, and she took some pains to promote the careers of the women who worked for and with her.
		So it is a special pleasure for me to see Candace Wheeler written back into the history of American art, at the very center of the ongoing debate about the relationship between art and Art, design and art, between the arts and business, industry, and commerce, and between the home and the gallery.

		Her textile designs, practical and affordable for middle-class women, were often based on American plants and flowers.

	Candace Wheeler: The Art And Enterprise Of American Design, 1875-1900
		As in many areas of my life, not just in matters literary, I was first drawn to this book by its beautiful cover and later caught up with the exhibition which it celebrates at The Metropolitan Museum in New York.
		Candace Wheeler, a name new to me, was a designer of interiors and more especially, of fabrics, who at the end of the 19th Century transformed the tradition of American textiles and was the driving force behind the process whereby women became involved in the design field.
		The figure which emerges from these ethereal folds is a sturdy, practical woman, high-minded to be sure, but one of great charm too.
