Born in Wilmington, United States, she was a member of the Pyle artistic family, the daughter of leather manufacturer William Pyle and writer Margaret Churchman Painter, and the sister of Howard Pyle. Her early artistic inclinations were nurtured by her family, and she received formal training at the Women's Industrial School in Philadelphia, the Drexel Institute, and the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. After moving to New York City to enroll at the Art Students League, she began receiving commissions from St. Nicholas magazine and Harper’s Bazaar.
