June 14th BOOK GIVEAWAY on BookClubBuddy.com: The Life and Art of Ina D.D. Uhthoff by Christina Johnson-Dean, detailing the life of artist, columnist, and founder of the Victoria School of Art.

In this fifth book in the Unheralded Artists of B.C. series, the life and art of Ina D.D. Uhthoff is revealed. Known as the “doyen of Victoria painters,” Uhthoff’ was an influential twentieth-century artist and hard-working teacher, who sustained a successful career while rearing two children single-handedly.

Though Emily Carr is renowned, Ina Uhthoff, a colleague who was equally supportive of modern trends and a force in her community, has receded from prominence.

It is time to balance our view of the history of art in British Columbia’s capital city and add to the wider picture of the development of the arts in Canada.

This is a gorgeous art book published by Mother Tongue Publishing, with 100 colour and bw photos!
