- Naomi Jackson Groves (nee Jackson) was the eldest daughter of commercial artist H.A.C. Jackson and niece of Canadian artist A.Y. Jackson. While attending high school, Groves began studying at the Art Association of Montreal and took private lessons from Harold Beament and Sarah Robertson. In 1928 Groves traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark where she continued her art studies. In 1936 she returned to the Art Association of Montreal to study with Lilias Torrance Newton. In addition to her studies in art, Groves graduated from McGill University with a B.A. in 1933 and an M.A. in 1935 in Modern Languages. In 1936 Groves traveled through Europe with A.Y. Jackson; she published an account entitled "Two Jacksons Abroad" in 2000. In 1950 Groves earned her doctorate from Harvard University; her dissertation focused on the German sculptor and writer Ernst Barlach. From 1942-43 Groves acted as Assistant Director of the National Gallery of Canada, and in 1951 she joined McMaster University as an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts. Groves was an accomplished writer and translator, publishing a number of works that focused on the life and career of her uncle A.Y. Jackson. In 1972 she received an honorary degree from McMaster University and in 1990 was given the same honor by Carleton University. Widely respected for her scholarship and philanthropy, Groves was awarded the Order of Canada in 1993. Some of her paintings can he found in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery and the McMaster Museum of Art.
