Daisy Agnes McGlashan (5 June 1879 - 17 August 1968, Vale of Leven Hospital in Alexandria) was a Scottish writer and illustrator. She also designed clothes.[1]
Life[edit]
Daisy Agnes McGlashan was born in Dunoon. Her father, John McGlashan (c. 1844 - 16 June 1920), manufactured underclothing. Her mother was Agnes Meikle (c. 1848 - 9 January 1929). They married on 13 June 1870 in Cathcart, Glasgow.
McGlashan had an elder sister, Violet Meikle McGlashan (3 December 1872 - 18 December 1905).
Personal life[edit]
McGlashan married William Smith Anderson (21 November 1878 - 22 August 1929) on 28 September 1909. They had two daughters: Daisy McGlashan Anderson (1910 - 1996), and Agnes Violet Neish (née Anderson) (1911 - 2008).[2]
Art[edit]
McGlashan studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1898 to 1905.[1][3] After her marriage and the birth of her children, she largely stopped painting, but continued to write stories.[1] Her illustrated children's stories were published in the Glasgow Herald, the Newcastle Chronicle, and the Hexham Courant.[4]
She took up painting, encouraged by Henry Y. Alison. She joined the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists in 1957.[5]
In her 60s, McGlashan began to paint again, specialising in flower studies in pastels.[1][4]
Works[edit]
One of her dresses, created around 1900, is in the Glasgow School of Art archives.[6][7]
