- catalog description "Weems led an active social life, but, afraid that marriage would interfere with her artistic work, refused several proposals of marriage. She did, however, correspond with several admirers, and, after a twenty-year correspondence, in 1947 married Fontaine Carrington Weems, a Princeton graduate who worked for J.P. Morgan and Company in New York. With little time for sculpting, she turned to drawing until her husband's death in 1966. In the 1970s, she resumed sculpting; Dolphins of the Sea, outside the New England Aquarium, was unveiled in 1977. She was living in Boston's Back Bay when she died in 1989.".
