In addition to exhibiting in Canada and abroad, she was the first Head of the Department of Art at McMaster University, founder of the Women's Art Association of Canada, founder of the first International Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, and a tireless worker for women's equal opportunities in the art world.

Born in Ontario, Mary Alexandra (Bell) Eastlake studied art in Montreal, New York, and Paris with Laurens, Bouguereau, Fleury, and Courtois. She taught art in Montreal and married English landscape artist Charles Herbert Eastlake. Evidently they often lived abroad, although she seems to have exhibited frequently in Canada, London, and other places. Before her marriage, she signed her work M.A. Bell and after marriage, M.A. Eastlake.9 images

Laura Muntz Lyall was born in England, but her family immigrated to Ontario, Canada when she was quite young. She studied art at the Academie Colarossi in Paris where she absorbed the new Impressionist style. The first Canadian woman artist to receive recognition abroad, Lyall was also the first woman asked to exhibit with the Canadian Art Club; her work was very popular in the late 19th Century through the early 20th Century. At age 55, Lyall gave up art to raise her deceased sister's eleven children, but she returned to painting at age 64.3 images

She also studied in Paris. The Reids settled in Toronto and often summered at Candace Wheeler's art colony in Onteora, NY. Reid was an elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists, an associate of the Royal Canadian Academy (women were not allowed to be elected), and the first female painter to have a solo show.Biography/Chrysanthemums image
