The Art of Ellis Rowan
The extraordinary Ellis Rowan was no mere 'lady flower painter'. To great effect, she cast herself in the role of 'intrepid lady explorer' and became as well known for her lively accounts of flower-hunting exploits as for her paintings. Rowan also created numerous paintings of New Guinea's Birds of Paradise (Paradisaeidae).
