Canadian Artist of the Day


Army Women in Warehouse
Alma Duncan 1943



Alma Mary Duncan (Oct. 2, 1917 – Dec. 15, 2004); Canadian painter, graphic artist, and filmmaker from Paris, Ontario. A prolific artist working in a variety of mediums including charcoal, chalk pastel, ink, watercolor, oil paint, puppetry, and film, Duncan's style evolved drastically over the course of her career to include portraiture, precise representational drawings, machine aesthetic, and abstraction.


As a queer female artist, Duncan paved her way into the male-dominated world. Her position as an animator and portrait painter gave her an outlet to her inner self.
