Item Description
Isabella 'Isobel' Colville McAslan (1935-2025). Artist and teacher. Born in Glasgow and educated at the Glasgow School of Art, Isobel's artistic journey took her across continents. After working in the United States and France, she returned to Scotland and in 1959 married fellow Scottish artist Ewen McAslan. In 1967, with three children in tow, the couple moved to Canada. Isobel taught art classes at the University of British Columbia before joining the Fine Arts Department at Douglas College in 1971. She became a passionate advocate for women in the arts, founding Women's Week at Kwantlen College and publishing essays on women artists. Retiring in 1994, Isobel and Ewen returned to Scotland, settling in Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife. Here they continued to paint and exhibit at the annual Pittenweem Arts Festival. After Ewen's death in 2008, Isobel helped establish the Pittenweem Community Library and returned to exhibiting, with a solo show at the Weem Gallery in 2022. Sociable, uncompromising, and community-minded, Isobel remained to the end that rebellious woman who chose her life and chose to be an artist.
