    Bio: Painter. Mother of writer and salon hostess Natalie Clifford Barney and the Bahá'í writer Laura Clifford Barney

    Daughter of Samuel Napthali Pike, who had made his fortune as the distiller of Magnolia brand whiskey, was a patron of the arts in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he built Pike's Opera House. After the family moved New York City in 1866, he built what would become the Grand Opera House at Twenty-Third Street and Eighth Avenue.

    Wife of Albert Clifford Barney, son of a wealthy manufacturer of railway cars in Dayton, Ohio.

    In 1882 Barney and her family spent the summer at New York's Long Beach Hotel, where Oscar Wilde happened to be speaking on his American lecture tour. Wilde spent the day with Alice and her daughter Natalie on the beach; their conversation changed the course of Alice's life, inspiring her to pursue art seriously despite her husband's disapproval

    She converted to the Bahá'í Faith around 1900.

    In 1911, at age 53, Barney married 23-year-old Christian Hemmick; their engagement resulted in worldwide press attention. They had divorced by 1920.
