Marian Williams Steele, American (1916-2001).
Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Marian Steele became a landscape and marine painter who
received more than 100 awards for the quality of her paintings. She studied at the
Trenton School of Industrial Arts and then at (PAFA) the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
with Daniel Garber. From the Academy, she received the Cresson Traveling Scholarship to Europe.
Most of Steele's career was spent as a resident of Cambridge and Rockport, MA; however,
she made many trips to southern California to paint and exhibit. Steele was a member of many
art associations including the Guild of Boston Artists, the California Art Association, the
Rockport Art Association, the Cambridge Art Association, and the American Association of
Professional Artists, among others.
Steele exhibited extensively throughout her career including PAFA (several prizes), the
Los Angeles Museum of Art, AAPL, the Rockport AA, the Newark Museum, NJ, and Harvard University,
to name a few. Steele died in Gloucester, MA on Feb. 8, 2001. She had studios in Cambridge
and in her home in Gloucester overlooking Good Harbor Beach.
