Mr. W.J. Pierce

dates

Vancouver Sketch Club

Mr. W.J. Pierce exhibited artwork in Vancouver in 1921 with the Vancouver Sketch Club.

This artist is possibly Mr. W. Pearce, who exhibited with the sketch club in 1923. The one reference to Pierce is from the 1921 newspaper article noted below. The article contained at least 8 errors in the spelling of names, noted in the transcription as "(sic)."

The 1923 City Directory lists "Pierce, Wm J sign painter h 3530 E 28th" as well as "Pearce, Wilfred painter h 2630 E 50th" which may be the two artists in question.
