Begin text here:»Priscilla Ann Mabie Stewart, art historian
and professor, was born in Iowa City,
Iowa, on September 21, 1926. Her father was Edward Charles Mabie, head of

University High
School in 1944 and went on to earn a B.A. from the University of Iowa in art history in 1948. That same year she was awarded a certificate
in Commercial Photography from the School
of Modern Photography in New York City. She married Thomas Wilson Stewart in 1949,
gained her teacher's certification and, when he graduated from law school in
1951, moved to Florida. They settled in Bradenton, Florida,
and she was hired as an art coordinator in local elementary schools. Stewart began teaching at the local junior

full professor after she had earned an M.A. in Humanities in 1974 from the University of South Florida
in Tampa and an
