American artist Mary Creamer, active ca. 1925 – 1975, was a teacher and painter of portraiture, the figure, still-life and landscape in both oil and watercolor. Absent any birth, census (pre-1940), marriage, or death records in this name, Creamer’s biographical details remained almost wholly hidden, and details of her artistic career not pursued, until the recent September 2011 location of a painting signed “Mary Creamer” with an original label verso bearing her un-wed sister’s name.
Mary Creamer was born Edna Pearl King to James Robert King and Leona L. (Weldon) King in Hart Co, KY on 23 April 1892
