==Biography==
Born '''Efa Prudence Heward''' in [[Montreal]], [[Quebec]], Canada into a well-to-do family, Heward was the sixth of eight children and was educated at private schools. She showed an interest in art at a young age, possibly encouraged by her artistically-inclined mother and sister Dorothy, and started drawing lessons at age twelve at the [[Art Association of Montreal]] school with [[William Brymner]] and [[Maurice Galbraith Cullen|Maurice Cullen]].<ref>[http://www.gallery.ca/en/see/collections/artist.php?iartistid=2427 National Gallery of Canada]</ref><ref>
During [[World War I]], Heward lived in [[England]] where her brothers served in the [[Canadian Army]] while she served as a volunteer with the [[Red Cross]]. Returning to Canada at war's end, she continued her painting and joined the [[Beaver Hall Hill Group]]. In 1924 her works were given their first public showing at the [[Royal Canadian Academy of Arts]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]]. However, it was still an era when women artists were given little credibility and it wasn't until 1932 that Heward's first solo exhibition came at the Scott Gallery in Montreal.
