Florence Higgs is an example of a female artist who has completely fallen through the cracks of art history, and there is very little information available about her. She trained as an art teacher at the Royal Melbourne Technical College. It is known that she latermoved to England where she studied lithography at the Central School of Art and Design in London. Her works remain an important part of 1950's printmaking in Australian and large collection of her works is held by the National Gallery of Australia.
