Emma Walter
Emma Walter (active from 1855 to 1899) was an English artist, known for her watercolour paintings of flowers and still lifes.
The daughter of Edward Walter, a civil servant, she was born in London. Largely self-taught, she began drawing at the age of five. In 1855, she first submitted her paintings to the Society of British Artists, continuing to exhibit with them until 1875. She also began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in the same year, continuing until 1887. Around 1857, she was elected to the Society of Female Artists, remaining a member until 1899. In 1872, she became an associate of the Liverpool Society of Painters in Water Colours and also received a bronze medal for her work from the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society.[1][2]
Walter also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Society, the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.[2]
