- Notice biographique
- Gwendolyn Mews was born in St. John's, Newfoundland in 1893. Her father was Arthur Meux, Deputy Colonial Secretary of Newfoundland from 1898 to 1935. While painting in Newfoundland, she introduced the city to cubism "which reacted as vigorously as did other publics elsewhere." Mews was a Jubilee Scholar while in Newfoundland and later attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. After graduation she moved to the States, eventually settling in Boulder, Colorado. Mews married Gayle Waldrop, an assistant professor of Journalism at the time, in Boulder, on 18 September 1925. She exhibited both in the United States and Canada.
