Mabel Hill (3 March 1872 – 18 November 1956) was a New Zealand artist. Her married name was Mabel McIndoe and whilst she used that name, she continued to exhibit her art under her maiden name. ==Early life== She was born at Cox's Creek, Auckland, New Zealand, the youngest child of Charles Hill, a hatter, and his wife, Eliza Ann Hulbert. In 1875 the family including Mabel, her brother Alfred Hill and seven other siblings moved to Wellington, New Zealand. Hill attended primary school but did not attend secondary school. She went directly to the Wellington School of Design to study art in 1886. After time as a pupil of this school she returned as a teacher remaining at the school until 1897. In January 1898 she married John McIndoe, a printer, and moved to Dunedin. During her time at the Wellington School of Design she met and was heavily influenced by the Scottish artist James M. Nairn. He introduced her to the contemporary art movements of Europe and, in particular, impressionism. After her move to Dunedin, Hill joined the Otago Art Society exhibiting works under her maiden name while sitting on the Council under her married name. She was supported in her art by her husband who, when building a house in preparation for their marriage, also ensured that a small studio was completed. This space enabled Hill to continue to paint throughout her marriage and birth of four children. Hill exhibited in Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington painting mainly portraits and still lifes including flowers. Gardening was another favourite activity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mabel Hill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
