Sunday the 19th - 01:30 PMAfternoon Tea and Talk: 1.30pm for a 2pm startEllis Rowan - a Flower Painter in the Tropics Guest Speaker: Dr Judith Mackay . Ellis Rowan (1848-1922) was Australia's most celebrated flower painter of her day. Rowan first visited Queensland in 1887 and found the bold, tropical flowers "more beautiful than all". She returned on several "flower-hunting" expeditions - in 1891, 1892, 1911, 1912 and 1913 - to make a fairly systematic collection of the state's flora. Dr Judith McKay is a museum curator and historian, and also a long-time member of the QWHA. Until 2008 Judith was on the staff of the Queensland Museum where she was custodian of a collection of 125 paintings by Ellis Rowan. Her first major project there was to oversee the conservation, cataloguing, research and display of the collection. Judith's research resulted in an exhibition which toured extensively through Queensland. A book titled "Ellis Rowan: A Flower-Hunter in Queensland", was launched by the Queensland Museum in 1990. . QWHA Members $10 / Non-Members $15 (includes afternoon tea). |
