Colonial-era New England watercolourist. Bloxsome arrived in New South Wales in 1849, a year after marrying Oswald Bloxsome Jnr in London. Her subject matter consisted mostly of English sketchbook subjects but scenes of and around the Bloxsome property at Glenn Innes are also in existence.

watercolourist, was married at London in 1848 to Oswald Bloxsome junior, son of Oswald and Henrietta Bloxsome . After their marriage they came to New South Wales and settled in the Rangers Valley near Glen Innes, living in what was said to have been the first brick house in the valley, built especially for Henrietta. She painted a number of large watercolour views, mainly English sketchbook subjects, but included scenes of and around the Bloxsome property (Land of the Beardies Museum, Glen Innes; p.cs). An undated view, Mr Bloxsome’s Sheep Farm (sold Christie’s, October 1972), is probably her work also.
