Studying at the National Gallery School in Melbourne, and later London, Mary Meyer refined her painting skills under the tutorage of Tudor St George Tucker and Australian Impressionist Emanuel Phillips Fox, whose influence is clearly shown in her animated depiction of landscape and textured brushstrokes. A long-time patron of the arts, Mary formed many connections and lifelong friendships with members of the Heidelberg School, while her works have been exhibited at the prestigious Melbourne Lyceum Club and currently sit within the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia.
