Biography
Newell was born in 1906 in Castlemaine, Victoria to artist Alice Newell[1] and her husband Lt. Colonel Francis Sargent Newell, a solicitor.[2] She was educated at St Catherine's School and took Saturday morning art classes at Castlemaine Technical School with Miss Naples.[3] She later did classes in watercolour painting one afternoon a week with Miss Ethel Crook of Bendigo.[3] Newell studied at the National Gallery School for five years under Bernard Hall but found she didn't much enjoy portraiture or oil painting,[3] and instead took up textile printing with linocut on cotton fabric.[3]
Her mother Alice was a co-founder of the Castlemaine Art Gallery[4] with whom Newell later exhibited in 1971[5] and hold her artwork in their collection.[6] She also has work in the National Gallery of Australia's collection[7] and at Buda Historic Home & Garden.[8]
Newell briefly had to give up artistic pursuits to care for her elderly parents, but spent ten years in Woodend creating work she wanted to do.[3] She died there on 22 May 1987.[1][9]
