S. A.. Personal history note by David Birley: Mother was an artist and photographer. She had many "one-man shows" at art galleries in Victoria and Vancouver, B.C., and in Honolulu Hawaii. Her preferred medium in her earlier life was pastel, but in later life she turned her interest more to oils and acrylics. She was always a specialist in portraiture - both of people and animals, although animals were by far her preference. It was often noted that she had a knack for capturing the personality of an animal in her pictures. During World War II she would drive from Victoria north on Vancouver Island to Cowichan Bay (about 40 miles) each weekend to go fishing for salmon and cod, and throughout the war this fish was one of our main sources of animal protein. After father's death in 1962, she moved to Honolulu which she has always loved. There she met and later married Charles Street. After his death she met and married (at age 82!) Barry Bauernschmidt.
