From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia
Jean Evelyn Richardson (20 December 1913 – 19 May 1989) was an Australian-born artist known for her prolific output of watercolours, oils, and pastels. She is particularly renowned for her portraits, though her work also includes still life and country scenes. She lived much of her later life in London, where she became a respected figure in the local art scene.
Biography
[edit]Jean Wilkinson was born in Chatswood, Sydney, Australia, on 20 December 1913. She studied at S.C.E.G.G.S. Redlands and East Sydney Technical School before earning a scholarship to The Elam School of Art in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1935.
In 1936, she married chemist William ‘Rich’ Richardson, and they moved to New Zealand. During World War II where Rich enlisted in NZ Naval[1] Enrolment Scheme and sailed to England for training in Ipswich. At this time Jean returned to Australia with their son, later settling in Dunedin. In 1946, she became one of the first female medical illustrators at Dunedin Hospital.
Wilkinson later studied portraiture at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. She spent her later years painting cats and landscapes, particularly of Lake Maggiore in Italy.
In 1984, Jean contracted viral encephalitis, a sudden and severe illness that required extensive hospitalization. Although she received dedicated care from her husband and private nurses, Jean never fully recovered. The illness ended her ability to create art or play the piano. Jean passed away on 19 May 1989 at the age of 75 from sudden cardiac failure at her home in Enfield, North London.
