  her parents sent her to study art in London. She
  returned home and taught art to a ladies group
  for 4 years. She then traveled to Paris and
  studied art there. When she came back to Canada,
  she didnt feel that people appreciated her
  modern painting style and she gave up painting
  for 15 years. During that time, she ran a
  boarding house, and wrote a book.
