Her brother Paul Peel was also an artist, their father, John R. Peel having instructed them both from an early age. Peel became one of the first women in Canada to complete a publicly commissioned sculpture.[3] She painted a portrait of Laura Secord in 1904 which is held in the Government of Ontario Art Collection.[4][5]
She died in Santa Barbara, California in 1920.[1]
