About me / Bio:
Ellis Rowan was a well-known Australian artist and botanical illustrator who was born in Melbourne on 30 July 1848. She was the daughter of an English schoolmaster and a German missionary's granddaughter. She was educated at Miss Murphy's private school in Melbourne and married Captain Frederic Charles Rowan in 1873. Her husband encouraged her to paint wild flowers and she developed her skills without any formal training. She travelled extensively in Australia, New Zealand, North America, Europe and Asia, painting the flora and fauna of different regions. She also did a series of illustrations on birds, butterflies and insects. She exhibited her work at various art shows and competitions, winning medals and prizes in Melbourne, Sydney, London, Chicago and Paris. She also published books and articles based on her letters and journals, such as A Flower-Hunter in Queensland and New Zealand (1898) and Bill Baillie: His Life and Adventures (1908). She was known for her adventurous spirit, her passion for nature, and her artistic talent. She died at Macedon, Victoria, on 4 October 1922.
