The Haworths lived in the fashionable upscale district of Rosedale in Toronto. Their residence was a mecca for artists holding formal meetings and small exhibitions.
Career and official commissions
From 1913 to 1968 she worked as a painter in watercolour, oils, and later in acrylic. She also used standard clay for her pottery works. The majority of her works are signed "B. Cogill Haworth" or "Bobs Cogill Haworth". Haworth preferred landscape themes and waterscape themes but also ventured practice in non-objective paintings, some on a very large scale. Most of her paintings post-1950 were created on masonite and often signed on the front and verso; often with an artist's paper label.
In 1936, Bobs Haworth was one of the founding members of the Canadian Guild of Potters along with Nunzia D'Angel and Robert Montgomery. Haworth was the first honorary president.[4]
Both Peter and Bobs Haworth made illustrations for Kingdom of the Saguenay (1936) by Marius Barbeau.[5][a] The Haworths also collaborated on illustrating James Edward Le Rossignol's The Habitant Merchant (1939).[3]
Haworth died peacefully at her home in Toronto. At her bequest, she left her entire art archives and remainder of her art works to Queen's University.[7] In 1998, she was one of the four artists in 4 Women Who Painted in the 1930s and 1940s, curated by Alicia Boutilier for the Carleton University Art Gallery, Ottawa.[1]
