Estate of Anne Montgomery
Thence by descent

Jessie first visited Norway and Sweden in 1937 on a motoring trip. Whilst she returned to England where she was staying with Mrs Bell Robertson, she writes an essay titled 'Pictures of Norway' in June 1939, and eventually revisited Norway in the early 1940's.

"Jessie was an active participant in Melbourne's vibrant art and arts and crafts scene in the 1910s and 1920s, she was associated with similarly independent and adventurous women throughout her life, including Anne Montgomery. With these companions she worked in her studio, traversed Australia and Europe and exchanged ideas on art with enthusiastic fervour."
