History
Gertrude C Simons was born on the 27th of May, year unknown, residing at 2 Kensington Gate, Hyndland in Glasgow's West End during her studies at The Glasgow School of Art. Simons studied at the School between 1909-1919, undertaking daytime classes in Drawing and Painting. It is noted in the Student Registers that during the 1917-18 session Simons enrolled in a course of three afternoon classes in Life Drawing but only attended one. Drawing and Painting classes that Simons attended were taken by instructors such as David L. Adam who was an Assistant Instructor in Training between 1908-09 in a variety of painting techniques.
It should also be noted that Simons assisted in the tearoom during The School's Belgian Tryst event. Records relating to the Belgian Tryst are available for consultation in The Glasgow School of Art Archives.
In the years after Simons finished her studies at The School, she exhibited her work on numerous occasions with The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts between 1919 and 1968. This included at locations such as: 13 South Exchange Place, Glasgow; Sunnybrae, Biggar, Lanarkshire and 20 Napier Avenue, Bathgate, West Lothian.
