Born in Forney, Texas, and raised in Dallas, Spellman studied at Columbia University, the University of Iowa, and the College of Industrial Arts (now Texas Woman's University) in Denton, where she taught for nearly fifty years. Skilled in all aspects of printmaking (specifically etching, aquatint, mezzotint and lithography), she was drawn to working on paper, meditating closely on details which would come to mark her individual style. In 1940 Spellman was one of the eight founding members of the Printmakers Guild, which evolved later into the Texas Printmakers. Beginning in 1941 the club held annual exhibitions to showcase their art and offer it for sale. Spelllman often included autobiographical details within her paintings, which resonated within her regional landscapes.
