Artist: Frances Gertrude McGill (1882-1959) was a Canadian scientist who was a forensic pathologist. She was nicknamed the "Sherlock Holmes of Saskatchewan" for her deductive skills and public fame. McGill influenced the development of forensic pathology in Canadian policework. After she earned her medical degree in 1915 she moved to Saskatchewan and was hired there as the first provincial bacteriologist and later as the provincial pathologist. McGill worked extensively with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and established their first forensic lab where she helped train new recruits in forensic detection methods. She retired in 1946 and McGill Lake in northern Saskatchewan is named after her.
She sounds like a really interesting person and I probably would read a biography about her if her vocation wasn't so gruesome!
Album title: from a quote by Rabindranath Tagore (also known as Rabbi Thakar), a Bengali philosopher, poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.
"The human soul is on its journey from the law to love, from discipline to liberation, from the moral plain to the spiritual".
Thank you so much for all your views, comments and favs! This was a fun one to work on. It didn't turn out as I originally envisioned it, but I like this result better. It's a composite of 3 pictures and 2 or 3 textures- I lost count after a while!
@catcarter19 I do have fun with these and if I'd discovered graphic arts in my undergrad days I might have taken a different career path- who knows! Thanks so much for the fav Cat!
