Georgia Jarvis

Georgia Jarvis was a Canadian landscape painter known especially for depictions of the mountainous Albertan landscape and her renderings of grasslands. Her detailed, realistic oil paintings reflected the natural beauty found in Western Canada through images of snow-covered mountains, golden wheat fields, and picturesque lakes.

Born in 1944 in Grassland, AB, Jarvis studied at the University of Alberta, while teaching herself to paint. After she completed her studies, Jarvis travelled across Canada to paint landscapes, spending most of her time in Alberta and the Prairie provinces and, soon after, became increasing popular in her hometown of Calgary. Jarvis died in 1990.
