Little-known etcher, born in Bradford, Yorkshire, May Tremel began her training as an artist at Goldsmiths’ College and progressed to the Royal College of Art where she learned engraving and printmaking techniques under Sir Frank Short. She exhibited, intermittently, at the Royal Academy and other major exhibitions between the years 1907-1936 and was invited to exhibit at the First International Exhibition of Etching at the Art Institute of Chicago. Tremel lived in Barnes, West London from around 1907 until the mid-1920’s. However, by the 1930’s she had relocated to the Kentish countryside near Sevenoaks where she eventually died in Tonbridge.
