This is my third volume for the Art Canada Institute and remarkably the hardest to write because of the wealth of material available on Doris McCarthy. At times, I questioned whether I could complete this monograph. Thankfully, Sara Angel was always there to encourage me during those moments when I felt overwhelmed by the task at hand. She is a special person with an infectious smile whose vision and tenacity have made ACI the most important resource on Canadian art bar none.
My text benefited greatly from the editing skills of Rosemary Shipton, who managed to trim my penultimate draft by almost half, shaping it into the near perfection of the final version. I also owe a huge debt to my research assistant Sydney McArthur, who did an amazing job digging up resources, a number of which were quite obscure.
I was fortunate to get some early help and words of advice from some of McCarthy’s friends, most notably Lynne Wynick and Wendy Wacko—the latter also gave me access to her excellent documentary on McCarthy.
Institutionally, Ann MacDonald at the Doris McCarthy Gallery (DMG) provided an initial roadmap on how best to approach McCarthy, while Carly Wolowich supplied thorough listings of the resources available at the DMG. I must also thank Sonya Jones and Michaela Dickens at The Robert McLaughlin Gallery and the library staff at the National Gallery of Canada.
From ACI, I must acknowledge the invaluable assistance provided by Jocelyn Anderson, Philip Dombowsky, Emma Doubt, Sarah Liss, Tara Ng, Victoria Nolte, Claudia Tavernese, and Simone Wharton. They are part of a gifted team who have been a pleasure to work with.
Funding was provided by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Explore Grant.
Finally, a special thanks to my partner and kayaking ally Karen—I can’t imagine life without her.
