Neel was born in Merion Square, Pennsylvania, and trained at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and the Moore College of Art. She lived and worked in obscurity in New York City for most of her life, before becoming recognized as an artist in the 1960s. Her work is often intensely autobiographical.
