Biography[edit]
Sadd was born in Nelson on 29 June 1866.[1][2][3][4] She was the daughter of Mary Agnes Sadd (nḗe Hodgson) and James Barton Sadd, a schoolmaster at the Nelson Central Boys' School.[1][4][5] She was educated at Miss Pickett's School and studied art with Morgan Cooke and Colonel Branfill.[1] She passed the South Kensington Art School exams with distinction.[1][3] She primarily painted and exhibited in oils and watercolours.[1][3] In 1882, she was awarded 1st place in map drawing and 2nd place in drawing copies with chalk at the Bishopdale Sketching Club.[6]
Sadd was an active member of the Bishopdale Sketching Club (which later became the Nelson Suter Art Society), and served on the committee.[1][2] She exhibited prolifically from 1882 to 1919 at:
- Bishopdale Sketching Club, later the Nelson Suter Art Society[1]

Artworks by Sadd are in the collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library and the Suter Art Gallery.[2] In 1910, she was a resident of Wellington but returned to Nelson by 1911, according to the 1911 electoral roll, and lived with her father at his house in Tory Street, Nelson.[3][8][5]
Sadd died on 12 April 1937 in Nelson,[9] and was buried at Wakapuaka Cemetery with several members of her family.[10][11]
