Mable May Woodward
American (1877-1945)
Born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1877, Mabel May Woodward graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1897 and moved to New York to take classes at the Art Students League. She spent at least one summer studying at Shinnecock, William Merritt Chase’s school on Long Island. Woodward painted in a vigorous style that blended influences from her teachers William Merritt Chase, Charles Hawthorne, and Charles Woodbury.
