LOCATION:Art Gallery of Greater Victoria :: 1040 Moss Street Victoria, V8V 4P1
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Victoria-born and raised, Sophie Pemberton was the middle daughter, her father&rsquo;s favourite, and a determined personality. Despite episodes of debilitating illnesses and family tragedies, she pursued a serious international artistic career with paintings exhibited at the Royal Academy and Paris Salon. A portraitist by training, she was also a landscape painter of great talent. Through her international connections and friendships forged at art school in England and France with the advantages of birth and position, Pemberton aimed to become a professional artist, a career not readily accomplished by a woman at this time in history.</p>=0D=0A=
