Biography: craftworker, came from Queensland. After studying tailoring, she supported her family by designing and making fashionable dresses and theatrical costumes. Her designs featured decorative beadwork and hand embroidery. In the 1920s she opened a small dress shop in Bondi Junction, Sydney. A talented artist, she was able to learn and adapt new craft techniques quickly and the business apparently did quite well. In 1928 she and her daughter Olive visited London where they attended classes in pyrography (pokerwork). They returned to Australia at the onset of the Great Depression and used their new skill to provide a living for them both. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
