Born:

Helen Beatrix Potter
(1866-07-28)28 July 1866
Kensington, London, England

Helen, or sometimes confusingly called Ellen, as in E.B.Potter or H.B.Potter, or E.B.T. or H.B.T., whichever does not matter other than for the confusion, she remains best know as Beatrix Potter, unless being reffered to by her married name of Mrs William Heelis. However, along with her young brother Bertram, they developed an interest in nature and animals at an early age. The pair often roamed the countryside during family vacations to Scotland and England's Lake District. Potter demonstrated a talent for sketching as a child with animals being one of her favorite subjects. In the late 1870s, she began studying at the National Art Training School, where she was regarded as a very competent and skilled still life and landscape artist.
