Birth Place: Ashfield, NSW, Australia
Biography: Born in 'Moonagee Hall’ Ashfield, New South Wales. Richardson trained as a nurse and nursed in hospitals and privately for eleven years. She came to Western Australia frequently to visit her family and stayed in 1924 to nurse an aunt who had demetia and could not be left alone. Richardson remained with her to 1936 and during this time started to paint wildflower photographs. These were published in 1929 in a book with Helen Odgers. The originals are with the Department of Agriculture. Richardson then decided to paint properly and studied with Florence Fuller and later with A. B. Webb. She exhibited three oil paintings A Spring Day, Pelican Point and Queen’s Lilies with the West Australian Society of Arts in 1936. In 1937 the reviewer remarked, “Ida Richardson’s no 31 Geraniums is a distinct improvement over previous work”. In 1939 when she showed with the Western Australian Women Painters and Applied Arts Society Charles Hamilton noted that her Bowl of Roses was the best of the “relatively unimportant” oil paintings. Richardson moved to Albany, Western Australia in 1940 and attended Albany Summer Schools. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
