A native of Rhinebeck, New York, Bracken studied with Augustus Saint-Gaudens.[2]
Bracken was born to Howard Hinton, an editor at the Home Journal, and Lucy (Brownson) Hinton, a painter and sculptor.[3] She shared studio space with her cousin Roland Hinton Perry. Clio's sister, Irma, was the mother of artist Gwen Le Gallienne.[4] She was known for her portraits, including those of such figures as John J. Pershing, John C. Frémont,[2] Henri Farré,[5] and Gabriele d'Annunzio.[6]
Her studio was located in Greenwich Village. She died at her home at Washington Square Park in Manhattan.[1]
