Sally Michel (1902-2003) was a young art student when she and Avery met in 1924. They married in 1926 and had a daughter, March Avery, in 1932. The income from Sally's work as an illustrator during their early years of marriage enabled Avery to devote more of his time to painting and his pursuit of a career as a fine artist. Lunn 18.
