Elizabeth Maude Vizard-Wholohan (13 August 1859 – 7 September 1950), commonly referred to as Mrs Wholohan, was a South Australian artist and benefactor.
She married Patrick Francis Foran Wholohan (c. 1851 – 15 September 1935) at St Mary's (Catholic) Church, Port Adelaide on 20 December 1880.
By 1903 she had joined the South Australian School of Design[10] She continued to paint, and also did some good work in sculpture and furniture-making but never achieved further praise from critics.
Some, perhaps all, of the recipients were: She died at her home, 3 Webb Street, Rose Park[11] She had no children or relatives in Australia;[12] she left £10,000 in her will to fund an annual Maude Vizard-Wholohan Prize of £200 for works by South Australian artists, a portrait and landscape or seascape in alternate years, the winning picture to become the property of the Art Gallery of South Australia.
[15] In its revised form there is no restriction to SA residents, there are up to five categories with different prizes, none necessarily awarded in any year, and the Art Gallery has the option to dispose of the acquired works.
