  • Artist (Painter)
Leila McIlwaine's skills were beyond that of the average amateur but it is not known whether she trained as an artist in England before coming to Australia in the early 1880s. She lived close to ten years in the north of Queensland, which was a popular escape for International and Australian artists.
