Joan Jameson
Born in London, the eldest daughter of Sir Richard and Lady Musgrave of Tourin, Cappoquin, Co. Waterford, she was educated at the Sorbonne and studied art at the Académie Julian. She returned to Ireland in 1920 upon marriage to Captain T. O. Jameson, and from that time began submitting paintings to various English and Irish exhibitions. She held two solo shows at the Leicester Galleries, London, in 1933 and 1937, whilst also exhibiting with the Goupil Gallery and the Wertheim Gallery. In the 1940s she regularly submitted work to the IELA and exhibited with the Dublin Painters group. A close friend of Norah McGuinness, who often stayed at the Jameson's home in Ardmore, Co. Waterford, Jameson painted in a modern idiom and was associated with those Irish painters influenced by "the French school". A retrospective in 1989, arranged by Sotheby's in conjunction with the Crawford Gallery, Cork, consisted mainly of works from her studio, and was exhibited both in Cork and in Dublin, at the RHA Gallagher Gallery.
