• Notes:
  Wilson studied at the National Gallery schools in 1901-06 under Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin. She was impressed by the Anders Zorn etchings in the gallery collection and, together with Jessie Traill and Janie Wilkinson Whyte, took lessons from John Mather. Like her colleague, Janet Cumbrae Stewart, with whom she was compared, Wilson excelled in pastels. From 1910 her studio, ‘a picturesque and ancient rookery’ at Temple Court, Collins Street West, was the meeting place of the ‘Waddy’, a group of ex-students who in 1913-14 exhibited as ‘The Twelve Melbourne Painters’.
