The title of this beautiful painting is Red, White, and Blue. Milbie’s work is known throughout the U.S.A. and is represented in galleries in Texas, New Mexico, New York, and California. She studied under Dalhart Windberg and A.D. Greer, who became a major influence. Her paintings are in permanent collections at Baylor University, Mary Hardin Baylor University, and San Marcos Baptist Academy. Many individual collectors own Milbie’s paintings including Burt Reynolds, the estate of Barbara Stanwyck, and the estate of Tom Landry. In addition to her artwork, Milbie strives to enrich society by generously supporting various charities. Her interest in assisting the Red Poppy Festival developed from her ties to Georgetown, Texas. As a child, Milbie lived in Georgetown where her father, Ollie Huffman, her uncle, Andrew Huffman, and her cousin, Eddie Cloud, owned prominent businesses. The City of Georgetown expresses great appreciation to Milbie for allowing the use of her painting on the cover of the 2002/2003 Annual Operating Plan.
