Painter and illustrator Monica MacIvor, born in Persia to Irish parents, married her teacher, artist Frank Proschwitzky Freyburg (1862-1940), and in 1917 the couple moved to London, but they continued to visit Cornwall frequently. MacIvor illustrated the Wonder Book for Children. She studied in Dublin at the Alexandra College and in Paris at the Académie Julian. Her paintings were mainly landscapes, figures, portraits and miniatures. At the times of the Berlin Olympics in 1936 MacIvor lived in Johannesburg, South Africa, and taught at the Technical Art School in Witwatersrand. She continued to exhibit in South Africa in 1936-1938, including several oil paintings that had been submitted in Berlin.
