Mary Helen Carlisle (1869 - 1925) was a British painter.

Carlisle was born in Grahamstown, Cape Colony, and went to school in England.[1] Her first exhibition was at the Royal Academy in 1890, and she studied art in Paris between 1890 and 1895 at the Académie Julian under William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Tony Robert-Fleury, and Benjamin Jean-Joseph Constant. Her female contemporaries at the Academie included Rose-Marie Guillaume and Amelie Beaury-Saurel.[1][2]

Having travelled in the United States of America she stayed in California between 1911 and 1915, then moved to New York.[1]

Her work included working in pastels and oils, landscape painting, miniatures, and portraits. Carlisle's miniatures depicting Queen Victoria and Princess Mary are held in the National Portrait Gallery.[3]

Carlisle was an internationally renowned artist who exhibited her works at the Royal Academy of Arts in London; the Paris Salon; Walker's Art Gallery, London; Charles Cobb Gallery, Boston; Knoedler & Co., New York; and Steckel Gallery, Los Angeles.[1]
