Born Kathleen Isabella Metcalfe in Belfast in 1899, she studied at the Richmond
Lodge School and later at Alexandra College, Dublin. Upon returning home, she
enrolled at the Belfast School of Art, whilst also taking private lessons from
the watercolourist Jessie Douglas. In 1921, she entered the RA Schools, London
and the following year won the coveted £50 Taylor Scholarship. Her interest in
landscape led to her friendship with Frank Egginton, whilst another fellow
artist, Eileen Reid (see Whyte’s auction catalogue, 19 November 2002, Lot 55),
encouraged her to exhibit with the WCSI. A retrospective of her work was held by
the Ulster Museum in 1996.
€800-€1,000 (£500-£650 sterling approx.)
