ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Margot Galbraith was a local artist and watercolour instructor who was active in the Victoria, B.C. area during the 1960s-1970s known for her scenic and atmospheric watercolours. In 1975, she taught watercolour classes at the Emily Carr Arts Centre in Victoria with Philip Wade and other artist colleagues (Internet Archive "The Daily Colonist" (1975-01-19). And in 1976, her work was featured in a regional preview exhibition alongside other local artists such as Frieda Lees and William Mundy at the Ruffles Art Gallery in nearby Sidney, B.C. (Internet Archive “The Daily Colonist” (1976-09-30). Reportedly, much of her activity was associated with community art centers, the Victoria Arts Society and regional galleries. Her full life story is yet to be determined. Further research is needed.
