Mary DeNeale Morgan (1868-1948)
Born in San Francisco in 1868, where she was a favorite pupil of William Keith, Mary DeNeale Morgan is best remembered for her contributions to the Carmel art community, where she moved circa 1910. Morgan attended summer classes in Carmel that were led by William Merritt Chase in 1914, and was the Director of the Carmel School of Art from 1917 to 1925. Equally facile in watercolor, gouache, and oil, Morgan’s works often feature the old adobes, and the coast of the Monterey Penenisula.
