Coreen Spellman Artwork
Early Life & Career
Coreen Mary Spellman (1905-1978) was a talented and noted regional artist from Forney who showed skill from a young age. She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in costume design and fine arts from several universities including Texas State Women’s College in Denton (later Texas Woman’s University). In 1929 she accepted a teaching position there and remained on staff until her retirement in 1974.
Artwork
Though skilled in many techniques such as etchings and watercolors, Coreen Spellman is perhaps best known for her lithograph prints, often of urban scenes or southwestern landscapes. She was active in the creation of a guild to promote women printmakers and had solo shows across Texas and the United States.
