Cragg, Heather

Heather Cragg was an aspiring young artist who died tragically at the age of 27. A graduate from the University of Oxford with First Class distinction, her work is included in collections in Canada, Britain and the United States.

Two years after her death, the Maltwood Gallery at the University of Victoria put on a retrospective show of Heather's prints, drawings and paintings. The interest which this show generated in Heather's work allowed the memorial scholarship, set up in 1981 by Heather's parents Dr. and Mrs. B. E. Cragg, to be increased: prints, drawings and water colours by Heather were displayed at the University Bookstore and the proceeds went into the fund.
