Thence by descent
Eileen Mayo had a unique journey at the onset of her printmaking career. In 1928 she received a telephone call from Claude Flight, inviting her to exhibit in a group exhibition at Redfern Gallery, Sydney. Despite her unfamiliarity with printmaking, Flight taught Mayo the techniques and she subsequently created her first print to exhibit. Eileen Mayo was a multi-skilled artist, extending across various mediums including painting, printmaking, illustration, and tapestry design.
