History
Winifred Roberts was born in 1891 and attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1916 to 1918. Her address is listed as Anniesdale Avenue in Stepps, however it appears that Roberts took lodgings in the home of a Miss M. Spins at 10 Rosalyn Terrace during this time. Another student named Muriel Reid, who was possibly the mother of noted pianist Muriel More, was also a lodger of Miss Spins during this time. Roberts' tuition was subsidised by Lanark Local Authority.
Roberts was a student of Drawing and Painting during her time at The School and is recorded as being in attendance for five afternoons per week. She is recorded as studying in Room 25 for the academic year commencing in 1916, so it is likely she studied Anatomy and Modelling under Professor James Dunlop. For her second year, Roberts studied Watercolour under the tutelage of Miss Jessie R. Allan, who taught many of the female students at this time.
Roberts shares her name with the renowned British painter Winifred Nicholson (nee Roberts), however it is highly unlikely that they are the same person due to a discrepancy in birth dates and geographic location.
