Jane Price

[1] Her father, William Thomas Price, was a clergyman, her mother was Rebecca Jane Evans; she had five siblings.

She returned to Sydney several times (1907–1910, 1925, 1935) but lived chiefly in Melbourne's suburbs, spending her final 13 years in St. Kilda, at the house of her friend Ina Gregory, another artist who is associated with the Heidelberg school.

[1][3] Price continually painted throughout her life, but, needing an income and somewhere to live, also worked as a governess, which reduced her productivity as an artist.

Amongst her closest associates were Jane Sutherland, Clara Southern, Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin.

[2] Price died on 24 May 1948 at the age of 88, living in the house shared with her friend and fellow artist, Ina Gregory.
