History

Muriel Florence Baxter was born in Belfast on the 14th April 1895. Her father was Irish and her mother Florence Mary Baxter was from Bolton in Lancashire. Muriel was originally born Florence Muriel Baxter, however it is believed that her first and middle names were swapped so that she was not confused with her mother. The family moved from Belfast to Bolton before moving to Glasgow.

Muriel studied at The Glasgow School of Art between 1913 and 1919, where she took day classes in Drawing and Painting and was taught by Archibald E Millar who was an Assistant Professor. While studying at the GSA, Muriel assisted with the Belgian Tryst, a fundraiser organised by students and staff to aid Belgian Refugees. She worked in the Belgium Market on Stall 2 convened by Miss Tully. She continued to live in Glasgow after this, exhibiting work as an amateur painter. She also exhibited work in Liverpool where she died in 1974.
