Biography: Caroline M. Bell (1874 -1870)
Caroline Bell was the leader of a group of artists known as the Peconic Bay Impressionists. These artists lived on the North Fork of Long Island. Sometimes they are confused with the Peconic Colony artists of Indian Neck, Peconic—Irving Wiles, Edward August Bell, Edith and Henry Prellwitz, Charles Bittinger, Orlando Rouland, Thomas Currie-Bell and other academically trained painters. Bell studied with Birge Harrison and John Carlson in Woodstock, New York. She and fellow Peconic Bay Impressionists also painted in Gloucester with Emile Gruppe and Anthony Thieme.
Caroline Bell had a long exhibition history, participating in over 50 exhibitions during her lifetime. -
