Painter, studied at Julian Ashton’s Sydney Art School (in 1933 retrospective exhibition with a 'landscape’). She signed an interesting, undated, oil on board painting, The Recital , showing members of an orchestra and audience that was offered at auction by Christie’s Australia at Melbourne 1-2 May 2000 (lot 229, ill. colour $3,000-$4,000). Her Mist in the Bay was no. 127 in Wynne competition at Art Gallery of NSW in 1965 (BS cats). A large number of her oil paintings, mainly landscapes of the Sydney area, were with the family in the early 1990s, i.e. Mrs (Francine) Lazarus and Mr Philip Lazarus (portrait of him as a small child). Mary Eagle thinks she may have been associated with Undergrowth .
