This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Mary Coleman became a painter known for her outdoor landscapes, although she also did portraits including Indians such as "Seminole Chief." Most of her early landscapes were from Texas, but she also painted in Oklahoma and Woodstock, New York, and from the mid 1920s, painted in California. She exhibited in Fort Worth, Phoenix, Arizona; and in California with Women Painters of the West, Artists of Los Angeles, and the California Art Club.
