Biographical history
Christine Eyles was a friend and roommate of Alan Creighton's. She was born in England on July 28, 1900, the daughter of Charles ("Chas") Eyles, a violin maker, and Emma Lucas, a miniaturist and watercolour painter.
Christine was a gifted violinist and graduated as a performer from the Royal College of Music. She was a professional musician from the 1920s to 1950s. In the 1920s, she played with the Bournemouth and BBC Symphony Orchestras. Upon immigrating to Canada in 1930, she played with the Toronto and CBC Symphony Orchestras until the 1950s and the Promenade Symphony throughout her life. In 1969, Christine was awarded a lifetime membership in the Toronto Musicians' Association. She was also noted for being an artist and a poet, with her paintings described as "mystical-abstract." Christine Eyles died in Toronto, Ontario on March 2, 1978 at the age of seventy-seven.
