Gwendolyn Grant
1877-1968
Not only were Gwendolyn (sometimes signed as Gwendoline or Gwen), and her husband William excellent golfers, they were also ambassadors for art in the Brisbane scene. Gwendolyn Grant herself was an accomplished artist. Her works are held at QAGOMA and University of Queensland.
