Lucy Mary Hope Jarvis (July 27, 1896 – May 24, 1985) was a Canadian painter, educator,[1] and modernist.
[2] The daughter of Edward William Jarvis and Kate Agnes Harris, she was born in Toronto[1] and grew up in Yarmouth, Pembroke Shore (Nova Scotia), Fredericton and southwestern Ontario.
[2] While in Fredericton in 1940, Jarvis, along with Pegi Nicol MacLeod and Margaret MacKenzie, wife of University of New Brunswick president Norman MacKenzie, worked to establish an art centre in the university's long-unused William Brydone Jack Observatory.
She studied with André Lhote in Paris and in 1961 attended Oskar Kokoschka's International School of Seeing in Salzburg before returning to Canada.
