It's an "Amateurs Only" category, but she won first place in oil figure painting. I wonder if any of her artistic productions survived?

Ella Kohlhepp - Painting in Mesa 1911
Amelia Piquet's letter showed how the Kohlhepps were moving to Mesa Arizona in the Fall of 1911. I'd shared Ella's involvement in the Arizona suffragist movement shortly after arriving in Mesa. Another thing Ella got involved in within Arizona with painting. Both her and Fred had artistic interests, embers which ended up smoldering in Minerva Teichert. A notice in the Arizona Republican on December 2, 1911 for "List of Premiums Won at Seventh Annual Arizona Fair" has an entry for Ella, noted here as "Ell Kohlhepp, Mesa."
