She was a painter known for her figure painting, with brilliant colours and an intense quality. PRUDENCE HEWARD, born in Montreal in a July day, was a member of the Canadian Group of Painters. She was educated at private schools, showing an interest in art at a young age, with drawing lessons at age twelve at the Art Association of Montreal school. During World War I she lived in England, serving as a volunteer with the Red Cross. Returning to Canada, in 1924 her works were given their first public showing at the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in Toronto, however it wasn’t until 1932 that her first solo exhibition came at the Scott Gallery in Montreal.
Though PRUDENCE HEWARD also painted landscapes and still lifes, she was primarily a painter of human subjects, and most of her figurative paintings are of women. Her work was influenced by schools of European modernism, that provided her with a dynamic visual vocabulary for depicting modern Canadian women in rural and urban contexts. You can found her works in Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts and at the National Gallery of Canada.
