Artist Bio:
Alice Steer Wilson’s passion for art began when she was a child growing up on an Ohio farm and was fed by childhood summers on Long Island Sound.
She mastered a variety of media and genres, including oil and watercolor still life, portraits, charcoal portraits, and plein air landscapes for which she is renowned.
Formally trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Alice taught drawing and painting throughout the region.
Alice lived in Moorestown, Merchantville and Cape May from 1950 until her death from breast cancer in 2001. Her art was the fuel that kept her going during her battles with the disease.
Three of the paintings in the Cooper collection were created during Alice’s remission from 1996 to 1999.
“My mother and I were grateful for the expertise and support we received at Cooper. It is thrilling to imagine her work resting on the walls of the new cancer building, providing inspiration, hope and gentle release for families walking this path.” (Janice Wilson Stridick, daughter of Alice)
