A native of Rhinebeck, New York, Bracken studied with Augustus Saint-Gaudens.[1]

Born to Howard and Lucy (Brownson) Hinton, her mother was a painter and sculptor, and she shared studio space with her cousin, Roland Hinton Perry. Clio's sister, Irma, was the mother of artist Gwen Le Gallienne.[2] She was known for her portraits, including those of such figures as John J. Pershing, John C. Frémont,[1] Henri Farré,[3] and Gabriele d'Annunzio.[4] Her studio was located in Greenwich Village.
