Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Nellie Knopf became a painter of mountain, pueblos, seascapes, and other outdoor scenes that brought her international recognition.

She graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Chicago, a student of John Vanderpoel and Frederick Freer.   For 43 years she taught and was Director of Art at Illinois Woman's College, later MacMurray College, in Jacksonville, Illinois.  She managed to combine effective teaching with a successful painting career of her own.
