Born in Vienna, Austria, Emma Fordyce MacRae became a noted painter of floral still lifes, landscapes, waterscapes and female figures. She was raised in New York City, and most of her professional life was in New York City, but she also spent much time in Cape Ann and Gloucester, Massachusetts.
In 1911, she enrolled at the Art Students League, studying with Frank Vincent DuMond and Kenneth Hayes Miller. In 1915 and later, she studied with Francis Luis Mora, John Sloan and Ernest Blumenschein. At the New York School of Art, she again studied with Miller and with Robert Reid.
In 1914, she had her first exhibition, which was in New York at the Anderson Galleries. The style of those exhibited paintings was "broad impressionist inspired" with "a hint of the form and the careful arrangement that would characterize her later compositions."
One of her favorite locations to paint was Cape Ann and Gloucester, Massachusetts. Unlike many of her contemporaries in those locations, she avoided painting the open vistas of the ocean.
In 1925, she inherited a home that her father had built in Gloucester, which meant she spent considerable time in that location as well as New York City. She exhibited at the Gallery-on-the-Moors, the North Shore Arts Association and the Gloucester Society of Artists.
In 1936, she and the French artist, Raoul Dufy, held a joint exhibition in New York. She became a member of the National Association of Women Artists in 1923 and was active in numerous other East Coast art associations including Philadelphia, Gloucester, and Boston.

Emma Fordyce MacRae
Philadelphia Ten Woman Artist, Emma Fordyce Macrae grew up in New York City where she attended the Art Students League (1911-13) and (1915-18). She had studios in New York City and Gloucester, Massachusetts where she summered. In 1937 she began exhibiting with the Philadelphia Ten Women Painters. She was also the only Philadelphia Ten member to attain full membership in the National Academy of Design in New York. She rarely sold her work due to her wealth and in 1983 Richard York Gallery held an exhibit of 30 of her works. Her paintings combine floral arrangements with a patterned, often figural, background in a fresco style that she developed after visiting the Roman wall paintings at Pompeii and Herculaneum. She never varnished her work as to maintain the frescoed appearance.
