Field Changes
Biography <p>painter, exhibited non-competitively in the seventh annual exhibition of the South Australian Society of Arts at Adelaide. The <i>_South Australian Advertiser</i>_ of 10 December 1863 noted that 'Miss Carruthers is evidently keenly sensible to the values of the gay colors', but thought that her two landscapes 'exhibit this tendency somewhat too prominently. This is a fault, however, rather in the right direction; exuberance can be governed, but a lack of vital power can never be remedied'. She may have been one of the Adelaide-born daughters of Harriet, née Fill, and John Carruthers, a distiller of Adelaide and Unley.</p> <p><b>
