The 1918 Henderson's City Directory lists Batiste Costume Co. (Elizabeth Batiste) 800 - 318 Homer Street, and also lists Batiste, Elizabeth of Batiste Costume Co r 1624 Alberni. She was not listed in the 1916 or 1917 Directories. No other Batistes are listed. In 1919 her home address is listed as West Vancouver. By 1920 the costume company was at 51 - 445 Granville Street, and her residence is listed as Altamont. In 1921 her residence is listed as Water Front 28th and 29th Sts (W Van). She was listed for the next two years, but is not listed in the 1924 Directory.
(Editor: as a historical side note, I once worked at 800 - 318 Homer Street as Production Manager for Parallel.AT Services.)
She apparently visited Savary Island around 1920, showing four sketches done on the island.

"Miss Batiste (was represented) by four sketches of Savary Island."
From "Vancouver Sketch Club"
Western Woman's Weekly, October 9 1920
"Miss Batiste is represented by an oil painting of Mt. Whistler as seen from Alta Lake.
It is rather somber in tone, relieved where the sunlight catches a wisp of cloud."

British Columbia Monthly, July 1924
