Bessie Liddle b. 1927

Also known as Bessie Breaden
  • Artist (Painter)
Liddle was born near the southern border of Hermannsburg. Hermannsburg provided much needed relief in times of drought or need, and it was at the mission school that Liddle was introduced to drawing. The influx of artists to the area after the completion of the train line helped the economy and the mission's rather pragmatic art program. Her work has been extensively exhibited in Australia and overseas.
