BRITISH COLUMBIA ARTISTS  

Alice M. Winlow

Hon. Secretary B.C. Branch, Canadian Authors' Association
By Bertha Lewis

     Alice M. Winlow, L.A.B., author and musician, is known for her impressionistic sketches and lyrical poems. "Silver Dust" and "The Lady of the White Silence" appeared in The Canadian Magazine. The latter sketch was inspired by Beethoven's "Appassionata." In this story the author has created an atmosphere of color by a deliberate choice of words. Several short-stories also have come from the pen of this facile artist, one of the strongest being "Jewels," published in that old-fashioned English magazine "The Quiver."
     The poem in this issue of the British Columbia Monthly is an example of Mrs. Winlow's word-painting and feeling for the poetry of nature.
     Citizens of Vancouver know Mrs. Winlow as a pianist of ability and one possessing an exquisite interpretative temperament.
     Fun and humor are also characteristics of this writer, as those are aware who have laughed heartily over the sayings and doings of the quaint characters in "The Mornin' Glory Girl." Mrs. Pocklington and Mrs. Winlow were co-authors of this delightful story.
     Those acquainted with Mrs. Winlow's literary work hope that a collection of her stories and poems will soon be available in book form.
