Edna Jeanette Taçon (born Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1905, died New York, New York in 1980) was a Canadian painter best known for her connection to the non-objective art movement and as a later member of the Canadian Group of Painters. Born Edna Jeanette MacDougall, her father, a violinist in vaudeville theaters, died when she was six years old. As a result, her mother gave her up for adoption to a widow, Mrs. Jane MacFarlane, of Goderich, Ontario. Taçon was trained as a violinist and moved with her adopted mother to Toronto in 1924 to pursue a degree in music. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Music from the University of Toronto in 1927.
