Biography
painter; was born in the UK (in 1908 according to McCulloch & Edward D. Craig, 1909 acc. Deutscher-Menzies). She came to Australia as a child (McCulloch says 1914). She had no formal art training and did not start painting seriously until 1972 (Craig). Her naïve oil on composition board paintings signed 'Roma’, which reflect her life on a farm at Bangalow, NSW, were exhibited in most Australian capitals and in London. They include: Country Corner auctioned at Deutscher-Menzies’s Australian and International Paintings, Sculpture and Works on Paper , Melbourne 22 November 1998, lot 79; Interior Leonard Joel April 2000, $1,600; The Christening Party Gregson Flanagan (Perth) June 2001, $1,800; and Country Fair , Deutscher-Menzies August 2000, $2,200. She won the Albury Art Prize in 1976. There is some speculation that she was probably the married Roma May McBurney, who lived at Abbotsford and died on 15 December 1979, aged 71.
