Elizabeth Jewell

American (1874-1956)

Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Jewell studied at Boston University under impressionist artists Philip Leslie Hale, Laura Coombs Hill and George Noyes, as well as with Charles Woodbury at his Ogunquit School. She was a member of the Merrimack Valley Art Association, and her works have been exhibited at the Addison Gallery and the Ogunquit Museum of Art, among others.

An artist and teacher, Jewell painted along the New England coast, from the Gloucester area of Massachusetts to Ogunquit and Monhegan Island in Maine, and also traveled throughout Europe. In “Monhegan Cottage” Jewell uses her characteristic feathery brush stroke to capture a classic Monhegan cottage surrounded by pine, spruce, and flower gardens.
