Note:

Jane Buckles was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1941. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1964 from the University of Toronto and went on to do a Secondary School Teaching Certificate from the Ontario College of Education in 1965. Buckles taught at the Secondary School level, and became Head of the Art Department at Etobicoke Collegiate (1964-1966) and Thornhill Secondary School (1966-1970).
