Biography
Painter, musician and teacher who was born in Melbourne, Victoria. She worked as a commercial artist and later had further training in Italy where she also exhibited.

Her 1939 exhibit with the Perth Society of Artists was described by the critic Charles Hamilton as, “Irene Carter’s sparkling Grand Canal is a very large water-colour, containing strong lighting and clear atmosphere, and some very sound drawing.” After World War II Carter returned to Italy where she studied watercolour painting. On her return to Perth she exhibited with the Perth Society of Artists in 1952 and the Western Australian Women’s Society of Fine Arts and Crafts. Carter was President of the latter organization in 1952-53.
