Description |
Helen McKay Steele (1875-1947) was born to Moses Horace McKay and Martha Nicholson McKay. Helen was the youngest of three daughters and grew up in what is now the Old Northside neighborhood of Indianapolis at 1241 Broadway. She attended Shortridge High School and then went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago and the John Herron Art Institute. Helen was most interested in decorative arts and crafts, and she made designs for stained glass, leather and wood, as well as woodcuts and prints. In 1902, Helen married fellow artist Rembrandt (Brandt) Theodore Steele, son of Indiana artist T.C. Steele. The couple had three sons-Horace McKay, Theodore Lakin and Brandt Ferguson Steele. They lived in a home that Brandt designed, 811 Woodruff Place. Pictured here are several members of the McKay/Steele families including: Helen McKay Steele, Martha Nicholson McKay, Mary Louise McKay (Helen's sister), Horace McKay Steele, Moses Horace McKay, Theodore Lakin Steele, and Brandt Ferguson Steele. |
