Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

A native of Montreal, Henrietta Mabel May studied at the Art Association of Montreal under William Brymner and subsequently traveled in France with Emily Coonan in 1912. She was elected an associate of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 1915 and in 1918 was engaged by the Canadian War Memorials to paint women’s munition work. She was an original member of the Beaver Hall Group, was invited to exhibit with the Group of Seven in 1928, 1930 and 1931, and was a charter member of the Canadian Group of Painters in 1933. The National Gallery of Canada acquired six of her canvases between 1913 and 1929.
