- Notice biographique
- Known for her scenes of pioneer life and landscapes of Peace River Country, Euphemia "Betty" McNaught did much to foster art and culture in rural Alberta. In 1912, McNaught's family left Glenmorris and traveled west, where they settled on a homestead near Beaverlodge. After teaching for two years at the local school, McNaught decided to enroll as a student at the Ontario College of Art. There, she studied under Arthur Lismer and J. E H. MacDonald, and also met fellow Alberta artist Annora Brown. She graduated in 1929 and moved to Calgary, where she taught at Mount Royal College for two years. In 1931 McNaught exhibited with the Art Association of Montreal. In 1935 she moved to central Canada to teach at the Ontario Ladies' College in Whitby, but returned to Beaverlodge one year later following the death of her father. During the war McNaught and her friend Evy McBryan received permission from Prime Minister Mackenzie King to document the construction of the Alaska Highway in paintings. She resumed teaching from 1955-58 in Grande Prairie at the University of Alberta Department of Extension. Throughout her career, McNaught participated in several solo and group exhibitions, including the Alberta Society of Artists at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede (1931), and at the National Gallery of Canada just prior to her death. Highly involved in the Alberta arts scene, she was founder of the Grande Prairie Art Club, the Beaverlodge Art Club, and the Peace Watercolour Society. In addition, she was a member of the Alberta Society of Artists (elected a lifetime member in 1985). In recognition of her accomplishments McNaught was awarded the Alberta Achievement Award of Excellence in Art (1977) and the Sir Frederick Haultain Prize (1982).
