The artist
Catonsville Community College, Catonsville, Maryland (acquired from the above in 1968)
Born to a cultured, well-to-do family in Baltimore, Grace Hill Turnbull studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Art Students League of New York. Turning her attention to sculpture, she studied at the Rinehart School of the Maryland Institute and in Rome.
Besides her artistic pursuits she wrote a number of books, including Tongues of Fire (1929) and Fruit of the Vine (1950). Her autobiography Chips from My Chisel was published in 1953. Turnbull also wrote pamphlets and contributed articles to a variety of publications. One example is the eight page pamphlet, Battle Front as Seen by a Sculptor, published by the Women's International League in 1936.
Turnbull's 1941 sculpture, Python of India, is owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while two of her public artworks, a memorial to Lizette Woodworth Reese and a statue of a naiad, remain in Baltimore. A collection of her papers is held at Syracuse University. Her house at 223 Chancery Road in the Guilford neighborhood, which she had willed along with a collection of artworks to the Maryland Historical Society, still stands. Her work was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1996.

Grace Hill Turnbull
Grace Hill Turnbull was born in 1880 in Baltimore, Maryland. As times and the climate of the art world changed, her work in painting varied from traditional portraits to modernist figures in landscapes. In 1914 in Paris, France, she was awarded the Whitelaw Reid First Prize. She exhibited in the annual exhibitions of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors in New York City, including their 45th and 50th shows in 1936 and 1942. Her first experience as a sculptress was at age 13 when she and her brother Bayard built a miniature white marble church at the family's summer home. She was considered very avant-garde when she started painting around the beginning of the 20th-century, first portraits and then landscapes and flowers. In 1928, she moved into her house in Guilford, designed by her brother Bayard, and concentrated on creating sculptural work. Turnbull worked as a sculptor into advanced age and she also authored several books. She died in Baltimore in 1976.
