  • ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

    Florence Aline Rodway (1881-1971) was a painter, pastellist and illustrator. Returning to Australia from Europe in 1906, Rodway established a studio in Sydney and continued to study under Sydney Long at Julian Ashton’s Sydney Art School. She concentrated on producing portraits which were described as ‘having considerable power … certainty and grace’. By 1912 she was receiving regular portrait commissions, especially for children and mostly in pastel or pencil and much praise; “she does not over-work her pastels; and the several children and fair girls that she shows are handled with a most refreshing directness.”
