M.A. Yewdale

Muriel Agnes Yewdale (née Fraser) (1908–2000) was a 20th-century Canadian artist.

Born in Grand Rapids, Manitoba, in 1908, Yewdale grew up in northern Manitoba before attending a private school in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. In 1929, she married Harry Yewdale. In 1930, they moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, and fifteen years later relocated to Burnaby. She graduated from the University of British Columbia (1963–1965) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Yewdale didn't start painting until she was 48 years old.

Yewdale's early work was sometimes abstract. The forest was eventually cut down for development, and so she painted its destruction as well.

Her work was rarely shown during her active painting career, which lasted from the late 1950s to around the mid-1970s. Yewdale's paintings passed to her grandson, Jase Maxwell,
