- Notice biographique
- Margaret Hunter Semple (née Doty) was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1900. As a young woman Semple studied nursing and art in New York City. Her early art studies were undertaken at the Grand Central School of Art. The artist married Howard M. Semple in 1934, soon after her return to Canada. In Nova Scotia, Semple studied with Stanley Royle. In 1942, 1947 and 1951 Semple showed with the Royal Canadian Academy and in 1940, 1943 and 1945 with the Art Association of Montreal. In more recent years Semple's work was shown in a Dalhousie Art Gallery exhibition called "Backgrounds: Ten Nova Scotian Women Artists" in 1984. The date and place of her death is uncertain.
