American, (1913–2012)
McKinnell, born in 1913 in Stanton, Nebraska, gained an appreciation of art at a very young age. Her father was a dentist and her mother was a homemaker, but both supported her artistic endeavors by enrolling her in piano lessons as well as private art lessons. She received a BFA in music and education from Wayne State College in Nebraska, and moved to Seattle to work as a teacher. She entered graduate school at the University of Washington to study painting and design, but after taking a class in ceramic engineering, she quickly changed her major. While in graduate school, she met Jim McKinnell, whom she later married and collaborated with for several decades. Their joint contributions to ceramics education through the Archie Bray Foundation as well as the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts helped shape twentieth-century American ceramics.
