Biography


Long studied at OCAD University (then known as Ontario College of Art and Design), privately with Laura Muntz Lyall and Charles Hawthorne.[2] In New York she studied at the Art Students League from 1907-1908 with Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase, and Kenneth Hayes Miller.[2] Long opened her own studio in Toronto in 1913. She eventually occupied Studio One in the Studio Building when A. Y. Jackson went on active military service and Tom Thomson moved to the shack near the building.[3] In 1915, Long contributed three drawings to The Canadian Magazine that provide a fresh interpretation of the First World War from a woman’s point of view, including Home on Furlough (1915), Looking at the War Pictures (1915), and Killed in Action (1915).[4] In 1933 she was elected as a full member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.[5]
