The Artist
Thence by descent

Fabiola Tuomy trained under E. Phillips Fox and Tudor St. George Tucker at Charterisville, where she absorbed impressionist principles and the practices of working directly from nature. She exhibited regularly alongside fellow artists such as Jane Sutherland, A.M.E. Bale, Bertha Merfield, Ina Gregory, and May Vale at the Victorian Artists Society.
Yet despite her active career, Fabiola Tuomy's name was later overshadowed, a reminder of how many women artists were forgotten in the broader story of Australian art.
