BC ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES RECENTLY UPDATED

I frequently do some directed research on a specific artist's biography, expanding the vital statistics, adding clippings and references, images, and so on, but there is no way for someone visiting this web site to know what biographies have been updated. Much of the information comes from additional transcriptions of research information such as exhibition catalogues and clippings, vital statistics documents (birth, marriage, death), website memorials and obituaries, institutions who have an artist's work in their collection, and websites hosted by the artists or by someone associated with the artist. As well, I am still going through a lot of research photographs gleaning information for BC Artists.
