Hartwell Wyse Priest, was an artist who at 77 lost her husband and grown daughter. She found solace painting and making prints of the pre-cambrian rocks and weathered pines and birches on her summer island in Georgian Bay.

“After Marianna and A.J. died, I worked more intensely than ever,” she said. “Making prints is a natural escape into a creative activity that I needed. It is good to escape to the work. A part of me was waiting to be developed until I got over the shock and the grief.” Hartwell lived to 103.
