Emily Cumming Harris
Emily Cumming Harris (c.1837–5 August 1925) was one of New Zealand's first professional women painters. She chiefly painted New Zealand plants and flowers and worked mainly in water colour. She was born in Plymouth, Devonshire, England on c.1837 but spent most of her life in Nelson, New Zealand.
==Early life==
Harris was the daughter of Sarah Hill and her husband Edwin Harris. The Harris family emigrated from England on the "William Bryan", a ship of the Plymouth Company of New Zealand. They reached New Zealand on 31 March 1841.〔 Harris' father was a surveyor as well as a competent artist who supported his daughters efforts in painting. Her mother was a teacher who established a primary school in Taranaki. Harris subsequently became an assistant teacher at that school.
Following the outbreak of the First Taranaki War in March 1860, Harris was sent to Hobart to study while her family moved to Nelson. After spending several years in Australia she returned to Nelson where she joined her sisters in running a small primary school and giving private lessons in music, dancing and drawing.〔 She continued to paint but sales of her work were never sufficient to allow her to give up teaching to concentrate on her art full-time.〔
