Biography

Gloag was born in London, the daughter of Scottish parents from Perthshire.[4] Her early studies were made at St. John's Wood Art School, and she later studied at the Slade School of Fine Art. Ill health compelled her to put aside plans for regular study, and she entered the studio of M.W. Ridley's for private instruction, following this with work at the South Kensington Museum. After still further study with Raphaël Collin in Paris, she returned to London and soon had her work accepted at the Royal Academy of Arts, where she exhibited a total of 19 works.[5][2] She was an elected member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the New Society of Painters in Water-Colours.[3] Her earlier works were inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, while later works were more modern,[3] and her works have been cited as examples of post-Victorian Aestheticism.[6] She made several designs for the stained-glass artist Mary Lowndes. Suffering from health problems throughout her life, she died in London on 5 January 1917, aged 51.[1] Her work was posthumously featured in an exhibition at the Grafton Galleries, London.[7]

gollark: What I mean is that people really like having money, and so there are lots of professionals working on doing trading to attain money.
gollark: Oops, that was accidentally quite insulting.
gollark: If it was actually a good and financially sound idea to run that sort of simple strategy, then presumably the many smart and competent people with more money looking at markets would do that, and thus eliminate any easy strategy available to people like you.
gollark: What of the "efficient market hypothesis"?
gollark: I'm glad you can so accurately predict complex market trends and many people's behaviour by thinking about it slightly.
