Private life

Born at Makuri near Pahiatua, New Zealand, she was the daughter of Walter Edward Charles Tylee and his wife Katherine Anne née Perry.[1] Her aunt, Alice Lethbridge Avery (née Perry) was also a New Zealand artist.[3] After the Second World War she settled in Palmerston North, New Zealand.[3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Tylee studied in New Zealand with D. K. Richmond at Miss Barber's Academy in Wellington.[4] In 1923 she attended the Canterbury College School of Art,[5] and she won a New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts award for a watercolour.[6] She later trained with T. A. McCormack.[7] From 1926 to 1929 she attended the Slade School of Fine Art in London[8] and in 1937 at Académie Colarossi in Paris.[3]

She worked primarily in linocuts, watercolour, and oils. Works by Tylee are held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa including: Crimson plums (1953);[9] Village in the hills (c. 1930);[10] Mount Tarawera, New Zealand (1935);[11] and Rooftops (c. 1928).[12]

After moving to Palmerston North she played a major role in the development of the Manawatu Art Gallery (now part of the Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and History).[13][14]
