Malcom (Melvin) Carlton Waite, American (1917-1994)

M. C. Waite was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1917. He spent his early years working as a commercial artist, before undertaking military service during WW2. In 1949 he married fellow New England artist Ruth Iversen.

Ruth and Melvin shared a love of painting and the sea. In 1963, they established a Studio Gallery on Cape Cod, where they both produced & displayed their works for the next 30+ years.

The artist (who generally signed his works M. or M. C. Waite) painted locally until his death in 1994… eventually becoming well known/sought after throughout the region for his dynamic, striking New England seascapes.

Posthumously, his work has been displayed in galleries across the U.S., and added to numerous notable collections. See less
