Biographical history
Hilda Vincent Foster was born in Nottingham, England in 1896. She studied art at the Nottingham Municipal School of Art with her father, H. Wilson Foster, before crossing the Atlantic and moving to Edmonton in 1927.
She quickly entered the local art scene and was considered a “newcomer of promise” by the Edmonton Journal (July 17, 1929). She joined the Edmonton Art Club in 1930 and served as its President from 1930-1934. Around 1942 Hilda and her life partner Edith Forester moved to Cobble Hill, British Columbia on Vancouver Island.
Hilda Foster was active in many arts groups, including the Alberta Society of Artists, the Women’s Lyceum Art Association, the Women Sketch Hunters of Alberta, and the Victoria Sketch Club. She exhibited with these groups, as well as with the Royal Canadian Academy and the Vancouver Art Gallery.
