art student, was a student of Charles Hill at the South Australian School of Design, Adelaide, in 1862-63. Mr Hunt, presumably her father, showed three of her pencil drawings at the sixth annual exhibition of the Society of Arts and she was awarded the prize for the pupil who had made the greatest progress, the prize for the second-best original drawing ( A Carved Frieze ) and the prize for the most meritorious drawing executed by a pupil of the School (for a copy of Le Pardon ). At the Society’s 1863-64 exhibition Hunt exhibited two pictures of flowers – reviewed as 'meagre’ and 'unfinished’ in appearance – and a drawing, The Tambourine Girl , which was praised for possessing 'life and spirit, and all the details and accessories are correct’. For the latter she was awarded a copy of Fanny De Mole 's Wildflowers of South Australia , valued at 6 guineas, the prize for the most meritorious drawing by a pupil of the School of Design.
