Career

Gadsby married Joseph Calleja, a painter and sculptor from Malta,[2] and the pair moved to Canada in 1958. She worked as a secondary school teacher in Toronto. In 1980 she created the illustrations for Caroline Beech's story, Peas again for lunch.[4] Soon after she illustrated two of Frank Etherington's stories, The Spaghetti Word Race and Those Words.
