The Art of London: 1830-1980

"During these years, there were, of course, several other women who were
professional artists in London. Dorothy Emery had followed S. K.
Davidson as the teacher in charge of the art training at the Normal School
in 1922, a position she held for thirty-three years. Another was Euphemia
Woolverton, who was born in London in 1882.
B As a young girl, she began
her art studies at the Western School of Art and Design, where she
became interested in sculpture under the direction of John R. Peel. After
his death in 1904, she travelled eighteen miles to the neighbouring
community of St. Thomas where she studied painting under St. Thomas
Smith. By 1905 she was listed as a professional artist in the London City
Directory. Later, after the First World War, she completed her education
by spending several years at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.

Miss Woolverton was an accomplished sculptor. In 1927, she won first
prize at the Canadian National Exhibition for a small model of a child.
That year she returned to London and held an exhibition of her work. On
this occasion, she also exhibited works of art by pupils who had studied
with her."
