Mary Elizabeth Price (1 March 1877 - 19 February 1965) was an American impressionist painter, born in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
She studied at the Pennsylvania School of Industrial Arts as well as the Pennsylvania Academy under William Lathrop and Hugh Breckinridge. A member of the Philadelphia Ten, a group of women artists, she exhibited at many galleries in New York, including Grand Central, the Whitney Museum, the Pennsylvania Academy, and the National Academy of Design. Swarthmore, Smith, and Dickinson Colleges have her work in their permanent collections.[citation needed] She lived much of her life in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Price is known for her landscapes and floral still lifes which often incorporate gold and silver leaf. Examples of her work, including Mallows (1929) and Delphinium Pattern (ca. 1933), were included in The Painterly Voice: Bucks County's Fertile Ground, a 2011 exhibition of the James A. Michener Art Museum.
Born into an artistic family, Price was the sister of F. Newlin Price, who operated Ferargil Galleries in New York from 1915 to 1955.[1]
