Anna Miller Corbell (1896–1993) was an early 20th century American artist, known for her panoramic landscape paintings of the American Southwest. Corbell was active as a painter for over thirty years. Her subject matter largely consisted of the Southwestern desert with mountain views. Describing herself as "not a modern painter," she worked in a palette of pastel hues to capture the colors and light of the Arizona desert.[1]
Corbell was a founding member of the Arizona Artist's Guild[2] and as a member of the Phoenix Artists' Guild.[3] She exhibited paintings at the 1927, 1928, and 1929 Arizona State Fair and in "Arizona Artists Arts and Crafts" for 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935.[3][4] She was a prominent figure in Tempe society[5] and a frequent lecturer on landscape painting.[6][7]
Corbell was also Fine Arts Department Chairman of the Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs, supporting art throughout the many adult and junior clubs.[8]
