Mary Alexandra Bell Eastlake (née Mary Alexandra Bell) (1864, Douglas, Canada West - 1951, Ottawa) was a Canadian painter most notable for her portraits of women and children, as well as a jewelry and enamelwork designer and producer.
Among Bell Eastlake's contemporaries, artists such as Mary Cassatt, Helen McNicoll and Laura Muntz Lyall were also known for their depiction of women and children.
[4] After meeting Charles Herbert Eastlake, an English painter[2] and director of the Chelsea Polytechnic and marrying him in 1897, she moved to England[1] and devoted time to learning enamelling and metal work for the production of jewelry as an applied art.
She exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.
[1] The Pastel and the Boston Water Colour Societies made her a member, and besides the Salon, she exhibited at the Royal Academy, Arts and Crafts, and New English Art Club, and at exhibitions in Canada and the United States.
