Jessamine Buxton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jessamine Buxton (left) and her sculpture student Jean Shephard, c.1933

Jessamine Victoria Alexandrine Buxton (1895–1966) was a South Australian artist and sculptor.

Career

Buxton was educated at Adelaide High School and won a scholarship to study at the South Australian Royal Society of Arts.[1] She later won a travelling scholarship but was not permitted to take it up by her father. She stayed in South Australia all her life and painted and exhibited regularly in Adelaide.[2]

In 1915, Buxton designed a patriotic Christmas card for soldiers, wishing them luck at the Front and a safe return home.[3]https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/7085497

After years of study, Buxton began to teach at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts. She had a major impact as an art educator and influenced South Australian sculptor and artist John Stuart Dowie.[4] Dowie was also taught by Marie Tuck, another influential South Australian women artist and teacher of the same era.

Awards

Offered the Society of Arts prize, a travelling scholarship.

1936 First Prize in the Autumn Exhibition for Still Life No 11 Zinnias.[5]

Society of Arts prize for modelling.[6]

Media

Buxton used included pastels, watercolours, sculpture, silverpoint drawing, miniature painting, china painting and needlework.[7] During the war, Dr Henry Newland assigned Buxton the task of sketching human organs after they were removed. There was such a shortage of photographers then.[citation needed]
