- 1912, Haldane Macfall, A History of Painting: The Modern Genius Part Eight, T. C. and E. C. Jack, page 87:

- 1935, “The Artist and His Means of Expression”, in The Canadian Author, volumes 13-15, Canadian Authors Association, page 11:
  Contemporary Canadian art suffers from new academisms. […] , her reaction is through Keats, Shelley and Byron. Her writing, based on these is perfection itself but still an academism and therefore non-contributive.
