A Montrealer by birth and a professional artist by training, Scott was also, by her own admission, an autodidact. She was constantly visiting exhibitions and reading about art so that she could incorporate new ideas into her own work.</p> Tue, 13 Aug 2019 17:04:26 +0000 rachel.vincent-clarke@mail.mcgill.ca 1292 at /vacollection /vacollection/exhibitions/first-nations-woodcarvings-bronfman <p>The glass cases located on the fifth floor of Bronfman building house a selection of carved wooden masks, all of which were fabricated by First Nations Artists from the Canadian Northwest Coast.
