Catherine Mitchell b. 1812

Also known as née Keast Catherine Augusta Mitchell
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Sketcher, came out from England to Tasmania in order to marry John Mitchell. Catherine Mitchell sketched her personal surroundings but never exhibited. There is some speculation though that she won a bronze medal at the 1866 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition for a pine-resin varnish soluble only in spirit of wine that she had discovered at Oyster Bay.
