Margaret Ross Hislop (née Grant, 1894–1972) was a Scottish painter, working primarily with oil paint.[1][2][3]

Personal life[edit]

Hislop was born in West Calder, Scotland.[2]

In 1921 she married the artist Andrew Healey Hislop (1887–1954), who was one of her teachers.[4][5] Together they travelled widely, including to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon), Egypt, Canada and India.[5][3] In 1926 the couple had a daughter, Vivien whose probable portrait is held at the RSA.[6] Vivien also became an artist, working mainly in watercolours.[7]

The Hislops were listed as living at 18 Cluny Avenue, Edinburgh in 1949.[8] They were friends and neighbours of another painter, Anne Redpath, when living in London Street in Edinburgh's New Town.[5]

Margaret Hislop died in Edinburgh in 1972.[4]

Artwork and career[edit]

Hislop attended Westminster School of Art and later Edinburgh College of Art, where she was awarded her diploma in 1916.[2] In 1950 She was elected as an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy and in 1964 became a full member.[4]

Throughout her career, Hislop exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1948 with a portrait of her daughter, the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and the Scottish Society of Women Artists.[4][9][10]

Hislop painted a portrait of Anne Redpath while they were both in Paris, entitled L'Aperitif.[11] Her works appear regularly for auction.[12]
