Following the modern school of sunlit effects and in absolute sincerity, her style was broad and simple. While acknowledging the new woman of the modernist age, she had drew her subject-matter from the tradition of Impressionist women painters. HELEN GALLOWAY MCNICOLL, daughter of David McNicoll and Emilie Pashley, she was born in a December day in Toronto. About 1885, her family moved from Toronto to Montreal. As a young woman, she focused her energies on playing the piano and developing a keenly observant eye, attending the Art Association of Montreal in 1899. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgTdq7dYnwE
Deaf from a childhood bout of scarlet fever, HELEN GALLOWAY MCNICOLL was an artist known for her Impressionist style of painting. Unlike her contemporary painters, she enjoyed financial security. From 1904 to 1906 she pursued her studies in England, at the Slade School of under Fine Art in London and at St Ives (Cornwall). Afterwards she took a studio in France, where she worked incessantly, taking tours through the countryside for fresh ideas. Some of her works are especially effective in representing intimacy between women and the representation of maternity.
HELEN GALLOWAY MCNICOLL began her first art training at the Art Association of Montreal, where, in contrast to the prevailing type of feminine painter constantly she had applied herself to new problems of lightand beauty. Between 1913 and her death, she exhibited 11 paintings with the Royal Society of British Artists, but the modernity of her palette was not universally accepted by that group. In 1914, she was elected an associate member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Her paintings are found in the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) as well as in the Art Gallery of Hamilton (Hamilton, Ontario) and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Montreal).
