Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes

?McLaughlin was a founding member of the Art Students’ League and the Canadian Group of Painters, where she was president from 1937-1944. A.Y. Jackson once described McLaughlin as “...reserved, shy of acclaim, paints a naturalist's world...She has been a moving spirit in keeping the Group alive, and we are very much indebted to her”. After meeting Prudence Heward in 1929, McLaughlin and Heward began to take sketching trips together, often accompanied by Yvonne McKague Housser. Isabel’s father, Sam McLaughlin, founder of General Motors Canada, owned various properties, one of which was in Bermuda. Often travelling south with Heward, McLaughlin visited Bermuda periodically throughout her lifetime. “Chinese Hats, Bermuda” depicts large, vibrant, fully blossomed flowers, certainly one of the artist’s favourite motifs.
