While a philosophy undergraduate at the U of T Hugh was the cartoonist for the Varsity, the daily U newspaper. Upon graduation, he was commissioned to paint an extensive mural of university life for Hart House.  This led to a year’s scholarship to study in England.  He then taught art in England, where he fell in love with the profession. Back to Canada and after trying careers as a graphic artist for TV, newspapers and curating in Toronto  Art Galleries, he went back to what he loved, teaching and coaching kids.  He taught at Penetanguishene Secondary School until retirement.  He devoted his spare time to helping to run Galerie Gale’s Art Gallery in Midland, opened to promote art and artists in the area.

Bridget Aubé     1927-2007
As a self-trained artist, Bridget worked in many mediums and excelled in all. She was a prolific talent with the main area of interest being in still life. Someone at a one-women show of her works said that she would love to learn from Bridget and Bridget responded that she wasn’t a teacher. She helped so many who worked alongside her, she was a teacher.
Food and florals often had prominence in her works but some of her still life were as simple as a pair of shoes, perfectly placed in a well designed image. Exquisite.
