Mary Duncan
An adoptive daughter of Ireland, Duncan studied at the Slade in London before coming to Dublin in or around 1910. There she was befriended by Estella Solomons and soon came to be associated with a group of nationalist sympathisers including George Russell and James Stephens, amongst whom she used the Irish version of her name, Maire Ní Dhonnchada. From a studio in Brunswick (now Pearse) Street, where Estella Solomons too was based, she submitted works to the RHA and held a joint show with Solomons at the Mills Hall, Merrion Row, in 1919. Later, upon returning to England, she held her first London exhibition in conjuntion with Solomons and Louise Jacobs at the Arlington Gallery in 1935. Duncan eventually settled in Cornwall, where she died in 1964. www.whytes.ie
