Island home at Gabriel Tiemer spent her winters in New York City and her summers at the family home called Gabriel on Dingley Island. Located in the Casco Bay, Dingley Island sits off the coast of Maine near Brunswick. While visiting Maine for a birthday party, Tiemer had happened upon the property just as the previous owner put it up for sale. She bid for the house that day and received ownership only 10 minutes after placing her bid. The home's namesake of Gabriel came from a wooden weathervane from the late 18th Century that adorned its stables. During her time on the island, Tiemer collected driftwood (that she termed sea-scoured wood and tidewood) and painted it using an abstract style. She created a collection of painted wood from the sea called Sea Formed Symbolism. Family Tiemer married Frederick Willie in 1915. He ran the New York City office of the Saturday Evening Post, a bimonthly magazine. Tiemer and Frederick Willie had a daughter named Erica.
