During her sixty-year career life, she created more than two hundred and fifty prints from linocuts, woodcuts, and wood engravings.

Albee was born in Scituate, Rhode Island to Henry Cranston Arnold and Susanne Arabella Thurston.

[2] At RISD, Albee enrolled in the Department of Freehand Drawing and Painting, where she was recognized for her artistic achievements.

Additionally, Albee and her husband experimented in printing colored linoleum blocks on silk, which gained them recognition from the Providence Journal in 1926.

The technique required from Albee's husband a year of practice so the color from the ink would not flake, fade, smear, or bleed into the silk.

These works included a displayed image of “Grand Turk” (the American privateer from the War of 1812), a large map depicting the battle of Rhode Island in 1778, and a tapestry titled “Perch”.

While in France, Albee associated with fellow expatriate artists including Norman Rockwell and engraver Paul Bornet.

[3] Albee and her family returned to the United States in the 1933 and lived in New York City where she continued to produce prints.

In 1937, Albee and her family moved to Doylestown, Pennsylvania and her prints switched back to rural subjects, such as stone houses and farms.

[2] Albee works are represented in a number of public collections in the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
