Eudoxia Woodward

Eudoxia Muller Woodward (June 14, 1919 in Flushing, New York – January 20, 2008 in Belmont, Massachusetts) was an American artist and scientist. She became known for her work with Edwin H. Land at the Polaroid Corporation, where her research helped produce the Vectograph and the SX-70.

While at Polaroid, she met Robert Burns Woodward, who had been hired as a consultant; they married in 1946 and had two children.

Post-Polaroid career

After leaving Polaroid, she taught art at the Belmont Day School in Belmont, Massachusetts and at retirement communities.

In 1995, her paintings were part of a show at the Francesca Anderson Fine Art gallery in Lexington. For her watercolor, "Pentagonal Red Hibiscus", Eudoxia Woodward told the "Boston Globe" that she plotted four views of a blossom against the five-sided form mentioned in the painting's title. Over the years her works have been shown in publications and exhibitions at, among other sites, the DeCordova Museum, and her alma mater, Smith College.

In 2002, Woodward was awarded the Stanhope Framers Prize from the New England Watercolor Society.
