Toronto-based visual artist Noreen Mallory is a master of powerful and evocative semi-abstract imagery derived from observation of the human figure and of organic land and water forms, especially those of southern Ontario. She moves easily between painting, drawing and printmaking.
For many years a member of the Montreal print collective Graphia, Mallory has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions at numerous galleries in Montreal and Toronto. She served for many years as a member of the teaching faculty at the respected fine arts school of Montreal’s Saidye Bronfman Centre. Her work is represented in many private and corporate collections, including those of Alcan and the Transit Commission of Montreal. Mallory has also designed book covers for a number of publications and painted exterior murals in Scarborough and Athens, Ontario.
Born and raised in Brockville, Ontario, Noreen Mallory graduated from the Ontario College of Art and later worked in the design departments of CBC Television and the Stratford Festival. In 1961 she settled in Montreal, where she pursued further studies at the École des Beaux-Arts and Concordia University. She has also studied at the Winchester School of Arts in England. Widow of Canadian author Hugh Hood, Mallory is the mother of four children. She spends part of every year at a summer cottage on Charleston Lake near Athens, Ontario.
