Myrtle Tremblay began her formal training with summer study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1931, followed by further study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Art Career School in New York. She also studied with prominent watercolorists including John Pike, Milford Zornes, and Tony Van Hasselt, and earned a bachelor’s degree and art life certificate from Central Michigan University.
Tremblay worked across watercolor, oil, acrylic, and pastel, though she is best known for her regional watercolor scenes. Over the course of her career, she produced thousands of works, exhibited widely, and received numerous awards. She was a signature member of the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society and an instructor with the Lancaster County Art Association.
