Another historical Canadian woman artist for Women's History Month. Sybil Andrews wanted to pursue art after school, but she couldn't because she didn't have enough money. She took art classes while working as a welder during World War I, manufacturing planes.

Continuing our celebration of Women’s History Month, here are some fun facts about Marion Long: She was commissioned to paint members of the Royal Norwegian Air Force and received the King Haakon VII medal of liberation for her services. Come see her work at WAM, on display now!
