Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Thomas Wilberforce Mitchell studied under William Cruickshank, George Reid and Frederick S. Challener at the Central Ontario School of Art in Toronto. In 1912, he went on to continue his studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied under J.A. Weir, Emil Carlson, Philip Hale and Daniel Garber, all American Impressionists. While there, he also saw work by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Charles-Francois Daubigny, both precursors of Impressionism, and other French painters. These influences made such an impact on Mitchell that he changed his style, and his work became more colourful.
