Alice, an artist of international reputation, emigrated from England to Canada with her family in 1954. She was a resident of Oakville, Ontario, from 1955 until her untimley death in 1982.

During her formal training in her native England she was inspired by the Master Painter John Turner and his treatment of light. This influence was seen throughout her professional career.

Her artistic talent was inherited from her grandfather Roland Hughes, who painted landscapes in oils in the Constable style.

Alice became a master in the "Wet-in-wet" technique in watercolours, which, to her, was a greater challenge than oils.

Travelling extensively from the Atlantic to the Pacific Rim, from inside the Arctic Circle in the Northwest to Arizona and the Mexican Border in the Southwest as well as her native Great Britain, she experienced the immensity and grandeur of the land in its diverse forms. She was intensely sensitive to the varying moods of nature, which she was able to capture on paper, canvas or silk.

Alice was elected to the Society of Canadian Artists in 1970 and was a founding member of "The Oakville Group". She was also a member of other art groups.

She had more than 30 solo shows in galleries in Canada, the U.S.A. and England.

Alice Waywell watercolours are included in Government, Corporate and private collections across Canada, the U.S.A., Australia, England, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Singapore.


Art critics have said:-
"Her....watercolours...have a delicacy of feeling and subtle strength".....
" their fine balance of realism and abstraction leave a feeling of mystery" ...
"one returns again and again to find a new discovery" ......"exquisite"....
"studies as evanescent as Chinese brush work"...
"delicate sweeping skyscapes have haunting appeal"... "awe inspiring"...
..."what a likeness to Turner"
