Geneva Adair Jackson
Geneva was born in Montreal in 1916, the second daughter of Henry A.C. Jackson and Coralie Adair Jackson. She studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris; the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School on a two-year sculpture scholarship; the Berkshire Summer School of Art and the Banff School of Art.
Her career in art education included: Supervisor of Art for Schools, Lachine, Que.; Art Teacher at Montreal West High School; she assisted with Saturday Morning Classes at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts under noted artist Arthur Lismer and other colleagues.
Geneva often sketched with 'Beaver Hall Group' member, Henrietta Mabel May. She also received instruction from her famous uncle, group of seven member, A.Y. Jackson, who
was a particularly strong influence on Geneva's artistic style. His perception of the Canadian environment is evident in Geneva's paintings. She painted primarily in Quebec around Baie St. Paul, St.John Port Joli, Christieville and when in Ontario she also painted with her sister Dr.Naomi Jackson Groves. On occasions while on a Northwestern trips, Geneva also sketched and painted in Alberta, Baffin Island and the Yukon.
Geneva is represented in private collections across Canada, U.S.A., England, Scotland, Denmark and Australia.
Geneva Adair Jackson Petrie passed away in 2006 in Ottawa.
