There are several paintings by Heward in both the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Eric Brown, a director of the National Gallery of Canada, was a supporter of Heward’s work. Following Heward’s death in 1947, the Heward family donated six canvases and sixteen panel paintings to the National Gallery. Her sketches, landscapes, figure paintings, and still lifes are part of many other public institutions’ collections, as well as private collections, across Canada.
Although the works listed below are held by the following institutions, they may not always be on view.
