Life

Daisy Agnes McGlashan was born in Dunoon. Her father, John McGlashan (c. 1844 - 16 June 1920), manufactured underclothing. Her mother was Agnes Meikle (c. 1848 - 9 January 1929). They married on 13 June 1870 in Cathcart, Glasgow.

McGlashan had an elder sister, Violet Meikle McGlashan (3 December 1872 - 18 December 1905).

Personal life

McGlashan married William Smith Anderson (21 November 1878 - 22 August 1929) on 28 September 1909. They had two daughters: Daisy McGlashan Anderson (1910 - 1996), and Agnes Violet Neish (née Anderson) (1911 - 2008).[2]

Art

McGlashan studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1898 to 1905.[1][3] After her marriage and the birth of her children, she largely stopped painting, but continued to write stories.[1] Her illustrated children's stories were published in the Glasgow Herald, the Newcastle Chronicle, and the Hexham Courant.[4]

She took up painting, encouraged by Henry Y. Alison. She joined the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists in 1957.[5]

In her 60s, McGlashan began to paint again, specialising in flower studies in pastels.[1][4]

Works

One of her dresses, created around 1900, is in the Glasgow School of Art archives.[6][7]
