History
Adeline Baxter was born on March 18, 1881, in Newport on Tay, Scotland. The Baxter family immigrated to Winnipeg Manitoba in 1891. In 1902, Baxter began her studies at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She won Life Class Prize in 1905. When she returned to Winnipeg she entered the school system as an art teacher. She became a Supervisor of Art for the Winnipeg public school system in 1913. After a few years of summer sojourns, in 1929, Baxter moved to Victoria where she took an appointment as Supervisor in Art for city schools. Baxter was active in the Winnipeg Arts Club and the Island Arts and Crafts Society. She was best known for her portraiture, and also an acclaimed miniatures painter.
