Edith Maryon was born in London on 9 February 1872.{{sfn|Raab|1993|p=21}}{{sfn|Maryon|1895|p=10}} She was educated there and in Geneva, then studied art, including at the [[Royal College of Art]].{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=23, 26–28}} Between 1899 and 1912, when Maryon was approximately 27 to 40 years old and living in London, she exhibited numerous works, particularly at the [[Royal Academy of Arts]] and the [[Walker Art Gallery]].{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=40–41, 52–53}} These works, according to her biographer {{ill|Rex Raab|de}}, tended to fall into five categories: first, the world of external physical being; second, references to the elemental world; third, motifs from the spiritual world; fourth, spiritual–allegorical works; and fifth, a combination of emotional and spiritual aspects.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=41–42}} Maryon exhibited little if at all after 1912.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=40–41}} |

Maryon was interested in the esoteric at least as early as 1909, and in 1912 travelled to Germany to meet the [[anthroposophy|anthroposophist]] [[Rudolf Steiner]] for the first time.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=55, 91–93}}{{sfnm|1a1=Selg|1y=2006|1pp=28–30|2a1=Selg|2y=2022|2pp=20–23}}{{sfn|Steiner|1990|pp=11–12}} In 1914 she travelled to [[Dornach]]—the place where Steiner had resolved to centre the anthroposophical movement and build the [[Goetheanum]] as its central structure.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=53, 96, 102–114}}{{sfnm|1a1=Selg|1y=2006|1pp=40–55|2a1=Selg|2y=2022|2pp=32–46}} Over the next decade, until her death in 1924, Maryon rarely left Dornach.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=117–124, 132}}{{sfnm|1a1=Selg|1y=2006|1pp=58–61|2a1=Selg|2y=2022|2pp=49–52}} She became a close collaborator of Steiner; among other contributions while there, she was heavily involved in creating both the monumental sculpture ''[[The Representative of Humanity]]'', and the [[eurythmy]] figures depicting an anthroposophical form of dance.{{sfn|Raab|1993|pp=137–180, 203–206, 212–213, 268–287}} |
