Saskatchewan NAC Auction House Biography and Notes

Betty Davison was born in Ottawa. In addition to her art work she also danced and acted with the Ottawa Little Theatre through the 1930s and 1940s and held her first solo exhibition in the theatre's foyer in 1945. Her studies in printmaking with Hilde Schreier during the 1970s led Davison to experiment with the creation of cast paper reliefs, and it is in this medium that she found success. Her work is represented in many public collections, such as the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto); the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) and many others. She was a member of the Print and Drawing Council of Canada and of Canadian Artists' Representation.
