Sybil Henley Jacobson

Sybil Henley Jacobson (née Atkinson), (July 21, 1881 – November 4, 1953) was a Canadian painter. Her oil and watercolour paintings of prairie landscapes, portraits, and still life, although traditional, evoke her subjects with precision and sensitivity. She was a founding member of the Saskatoon Art Club and one of the ten founding members of the Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan (1929).

Career Born in London, England, Jacobson was the daughter of Edward and Lucy Atkinson.

Jacobson studied afterwards in Paris and in 1907, married Percy John Henley, an English art student and sculptor she had met there. Around 1918, she began to live with Dr. Johann Sigurdir Jacobson, an Icelandic emigrant who had his practise in Wnyard. Due to their irregular relationship (Jacobson was already married with children), they moved to the North Dakota where they had two children together, Johanna born in 1919 and Jacob born in 1921.
