History
Born on 24th September 1900, Jehanne came to Glasgow as a Belgian Refugee during the First World War. Records show that she attended the Glasgow School of Art between 1914 and 1916, as a Day Pupil studying Drawing and Painting. In the 1914 – 15 record, her address is noted as "Belleim, Belgium, Oriendale, Flandre", but it is also noted that she was staying at 10 Princes Gardens, Glasgow. Jehanne came to the UK with some members of her family, including her sisters Suzanne Nys Baltus who also studied at the GSA, and Maria Nys Baltus, who later married Aldous Huxley.
