Little is known about Estelle Kellogg except that she exhibited art at the Darien Guild of the Seven Arts. She worked for the WPA's predecessor, the Public Works of Art Project, and for the WPA Federal Arts Project, completing the mural Art Education of Children for the Rice School in Stamford, Connecticut. Her dates of birth and death are unknown. There is only one unconfirmed person by this name on the Social Security Death Index, and the entry shows that this person was born in 1907 and died in 1986.
