Born in Dundalk, Co. Louth, in 1861, Mary Barton was the youngest
of seven children. Having settled in London in 1895, she began her
studies at the Westminster School of Art. She exhibited only four
works at the RHA from 1900 to 1931 but was a regular exhibitor with
the WCSI, the Belfast Art Society and the Irish Fine Art Society.
She travelled extensively throughout Europe, Mexico and India. She
also taught art during a visit to Rome and whilst in England taught
small groups of women at the homes of the landed gentry. |
