Mary Nimmo Moran

American, (1842–1899)

Mary Moran came to the United States during childhood and did not become interested in art until her marriage in 1862 to the soon-to-be-famous painter, Thomas Moran. Originally a landscape painter, she was far better known after 1880 as a landscape etcher, having been elected in 1879 to the New York Etching Club and, in 1881, to the Painters-Etchers Society of London as the only woman among its sixty-five original members.
