Audrey McNaughton Dalglish (nee Watts)
Audrey McNaughton Dalglish (nee Watts), born in 1917, was the first woman to paint an official portrait of a Canadian Prime Minister. She studied art in Toronto and London, England, and graduated from Bishop's University in Quebec in 1955, three years before she was commissioned for the official portrait of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. It may be her best-known single work, though she was also known for pastel and charcoal portraits of domestic animals. Her 2010 obituary described her as having had “the confidence and sense of purpose to bridge many non-traditional roles for women,” including having become a pilot.
