        History

        Emily Warren was born in Exeter, Devon, in 1869. Notably, she was John Ruskin's last pupil. She graduated from the College of Art, South Kensington, and also took certificates in biology, botany and geology to obtain the kinds of knowledge considered necessary for an artist's career. She came to Canada in 1921 to complete two very large canvasses which had been commissioned by Sir Robert Borden in London during the first World War. She travelled back and forth across Canada delivering lectures illustrated by handcoloured glass slides reproducing her own paintings. Her Canadian work sold well, and there was also a demand for her paintings of England and the continent of Europe. This and her need for additions to her slide collections necessitatd many painting trips abroad, and she continued to travel until she was 84 years old. She died in 1956 at the age of 87.
