(1899 - 1987)
Annora Brown was an outstanding painter of realistic landscapes, portraits of Indians and florals in oils, watercolour and pastel. Born in Red Deer. She moved to Fort MacLeod at an early age. Her first art lesson were from her mother, an amateur painter in oils. She attended Normal School in Calgary, then pursued her art education at the Ontario College of Art. She joined the Calgary Sketch Club and then the Alberta Society of Artists, in which she was the first woman member. At the time, she stated that the Society had admitted her because they could not obtain a Charter if their membership was restricted to men. Nevertheless, she later felt that as new members with a broader outlook were admitted, membership in the A.S.A. became a joy and an inspiration.

Brown was a prolific painter; she did a series of two hundred flower paintings for the Glenbow Institute. She wrote a book on wildflowers of Alberta, titled "Old Man's Garden", and the engaging and humorous autobiographical "Sketches From Life".

During her lifetime, Brown's work was exhibited at the Coste House and the Allied Arts Centre. Her work is included in the collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts; the Glenbow Museum, Calgary; the Calgary Civic Art Collection; and the University of Alberta, Edmonton.
