Biography

Beale was born at Yaldham in Kent and took art lessons in London from William Orpen between 1906 and 1908.[3] In the following years she was a pupil of Percyval Tudor-Hart, first in Paris and then, during 1911 and 1912, in London.[3] Beale eventually settled at Chidham in Sussex. There she had a studio overlooking the harbour and the sea and marine craft, especially yachts, became regular subjects of her paintings.[3] Beale was a keen small-boat sailor and was present at the first meeting, in February 1939, of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and participated in the Society's inaugural exhibition.[4] Beale was an active member of the Chichester Art Society and had a solo exhibition in the town.[3] The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich holds examples of her work.[3]

gollark: I may need to replace my phone at some point soon because the battery is degraded horribly and it's not replaceable, and it looks like basically all newish phones, even cheap ones, have trendy but impractical things like non-rectangular screens, non-replaceable batteries, metal cases, and that sort of annoying thing.
