Adelaide Lawson Gaylor was active as an artist in New York during the Harlem Renaissance and is listed in The Bio-Bibliographical Dictionary of Afro-American Artists.  She studied at the Art Students League and began to exhibit her work (which leaned heavily towards radical-modernist art) in the early 1910s and 1920s, culminating in her participation in the inaugural Tanner Art League exhibition organized by African-American artists in Washington D.C. in 1922.
