Biography
[edit]Heming was born in London, England. She was the daughter of Wilson Lowry. The engraver Joseph Wilson Lowry was her younger half-brother. She is known for watercolour portraits, but her landscape watercolour Backwater, Weymouth, was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.[1] Today it is in the collection of the British Museum, along with a few more landscapes and a portrait she made of the writer Mary Somerville.[2]
