China painter who was born in Adelaide, South Australia. Ethel studied art, learning oil painting from James Ashton. She married Charles A. Munt in 1897 and moved to Boulder, Western Australia during the height of the gold rushes. Boulder was the company town as opposed to Kalgoorlie, which was the home of the individual miner. Her husband worked for the Public Works Department in 1905 and became undersecretary for Public Works. They lived in Dean Street, Claremont, Devon Road, Swanbourne and later in Dalkeith, Perth, Western Australia. Ethel took up china painting. She was the mother of china painter Bobbie Sanders who learnt from Flora Landells. It is probable that Ethel learnt from the Misses Creeth when she moved to Perth or from Flora Landells when her daughter was attending classes. Ethel was active in the 1930s and 1940s and possibly earlier.
