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. Carter returned to Australia and exhibited in New South Wales, Melbourne and Perth being included in the 'Exhibition of Western Australian Painting from 1826-1937’ held at Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1937. 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. Quite a number of her subjects were Perth buildings though she did paint the Houses of Parliament in Westminster during her overseas sojourn and exhibited that painting in 1952 with the Perth Society of Artists. She won the watercolour section of the Art Competition in 1951. Carter died in 1954.
