Biography

Edith W. Woodhouse (née Bathgate) was born in 1860 in Peebles, Scotland to Mary and John Bathgate.[1] Her father was a judge and politician.[1] In 1883, she married John Frederick Churton Woodhouse.[2]

Woodhouse studied at the Dunedin School of Art and took lessons in watercolour painting from Frances Hodgkins.[1] She exhibited at the Otago Art Society (1892-1916), the Otago Industrial Exhibition (1898) and the New Zealand International Exhibition Christchurch (1906-1907).[1] Alfred Henry O'Keeffe "wrote of her 'delicate toned' watercolours which hung in many Dunedin houses."[1] Several of her works are now held by the Hocken Collection, University of Otago.[1][3]
