Anne Hedley Parsons (Australian 1870-1960) Bio
Painter and art teacher who lived and worked in Sydney in the 1920s and 1930s, Mrs Hedley Parsons was also an active member of the Society of Women Painters.
In 1933 she showed a watercolour, The Timber Ship , at the Sydney Art School retrospective, which suggests she was a former student at Ashton’s. She may have the Miss Hedley Nicholl who exhibited with the Society of Artists in 1898 and 1899 and with the Royal Art Society of NSW in 1902. Mrs Hedley Parsons exhibited with the Society of Artists and the Royal Art Society of NSW (1923) and was an active member of the Society of Women Painters.
The catalogue of the 45th annual exhibition of the RAS (1920) carried an advertisement for the ‘Women Painters’ School of Fine and Applied Art’ run by the Society of Women Painters on the 3rd floor of the Queen Victoria building; the Principal was Miss Eirene Mort , the Life Teacher Miss Florence Fuller and ‘Landscape’ was taught by Mrs. Hedley Parsons. In 1924 she was teaching at East Sydney Technical College; an annotated photograph of Mrs Hedley Parsons with her students Enid Busby and Barbara Cobham is in the Busby collection. In July 1934, at the Women Artists of Australia Exhibition in Sydney, Mrs Hedley Parsons showed three watercolours of beach scenes at Lami, Fiji, for sale at 3 guineas each, and a pen and wash landscape drawing.
