From "Sketch Club Tea Enjoyable Event; Good Work Shown"
Vancouver Daily World, April 3 1922
"Miss Conran's "Lost Lagoon" also has lovely autumn coloring.
Vancouver Island shows dimly in the distance. The reds, browns, and yellows of the foliage
on the bank of the lagoon are delicately reflected in the water."
From "Exhibition of the B.C. Society of Fine Art" by
Alice M. Winlow
British Columbia magazine, June 1924
""Gates of the West," a charming bit of color beckoning us towards the setting sun,
is painted by Miss Conran."
From "The Midsummer Exhibit of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by Bertha Lewis
British Columbia Monthly, July 1924
"Miss Conran's "Capilano River" has a coloring and singing quality
that are unique. We are all so familiar with just this spot, that it is a delightful surprise
to find a mood of cool grey-blues and purple and not too tempestuous water."
From "September Exhibition of the Vancouver Sketch Club" by
Alice M. Winlow
British Columbia Monthly, September 1924
"In the larger realm of landscape subjects are: ... "The Lost Lagoon," by Miss Conran; ... "
