Biography from the Archives of askART

Helen Maria Turner is best known as an American painter of portraits of people in their own homes and women in gardens. She was both an impressionist and a realist in the style of her paintings.

Her works incorporated pastels, oils, and watercolors applied to landscapes, portraits, and miniature portraits; most were accomplished without the use of preliminary sketches.
Helen Turner was born in 1858 in Louisville, Kentucky, and lived with her family Alexandria, Louisiana. Much of her time was spent in New Orleans where her family had prominence as well as in their own town.

Her painting experience began at about age 22, and she painted portraits as well as bayou landscapes. She attended the New Orleans Art Union before becoming an instructor in Dallas at an Episcopal school for girls from about 1893 to 1895.
She then attended the Art Students League in New York in 1895, studying under the aegis of Douglas Volk and Kenyon Cox. She continued her studies under Volk at the Women's Art School of Cooper Union where she graduated. Additional courses were completed in the Fine Arts Department of the Teacher's College of Columbia University, where she received a scholarship and taught part-time. Her teaching career continued, and in 1902 she taught drawing at the Art School of the New York City YWCA. In 1942, she moved permanently to New Orleans.
