[1][2] She pioneered the 'Canadian style', painting landscapes with bold colours of the Algoma, Muskoka and Lake Superior regions, in situ.
She went through numerous degrees, and began graduate studies at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London until 1899 under the direction of Walter Donne.
[6][7] Wrinch later returned to Toronto where she again studied at the Ontario College of Art & Design with Lyall, Holmes and Reid.
[7] Wrinch was first a painter of miniatures on ivory in Toronto and then, around 1906, turned to the landscape of Muskoka and painted a sketch of a distant sawmill on a lake (Art Gallery of Ontario) there during a visit to Kathleen Lizars, an author and friend.
Back in Toronto, she painted a larger canvas, Saw Mill, Muskoka (Art Gallery of Ontario).
[11] Wrinch’s first public exhibition was in 1969 at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and was curated by Joan Murray.
[14] Wrinch worked in many artistic mediums including oil paint, watercolour, drawing and printmaking.
[3] Both works are colour linocut on wove paper and are found in the Canadian Prints and Drawings section of the National Gallery of Canada.
[4] Curators praise the innovations, "distinct vision" and the "high-key colours and open brushwork" of her paintings.
