Violet Bowring (née Nelson; 29 August 1890 – 21 January 1980) was a New Zealand artist who exhibited widely in both New Zealand and Australia.[1][2] She was versatile in many media, including pastels, oils, watercolours and pencil, a successful miniaturist and from an early age made and exhibited jewellery.[3]
She is best known for her portrait of her one-time neighbour Banjo Paterson, now hanging in Sydney’s Australian Club, and used as the cover illustration of a book The Best of Banjo Paterson, compiled by Walter Stone, published in 1977.[2]
