Stella Bowen
Esther Gwendolyn "Stella" Bowen (1893–1947) was an Australian artist, born in North Adelaide, an inner suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. Her childhood home at 59 Mills Terrace, North Adelaide, is affixed with a blue plaque. As a young girl, Bowen enjoyed drawing and convinced her mother to allow her to study with Margaret Preston. However, her desire to pursue art training in Melbourne was thwarted by her mother's ill health and reluctance to let her daughter follow such a career.

Famous quotes containing the word bowen:
“Forty years on, growing older and older,
Shorter in wind, as in memory long,
Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder
What will it help you that once you were strong?”
—E.E. Bowen (1836–1901)
