Catharine Henderson (18 August 1850 - 10 September 1911) was a Scottish painter. She was one of the founder members of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists.
Life[edit]
Her father was Andrew Henderson (4 September 1802 - 18 July 1862), an East India merchant from Bo'ness.
Her mother was Margaret King (16 July 1814 - 24 April 1877) from Montrose. Andrew and Margaret married on 13 February 1844.
Catharine Henderson was born on 18 August 1850 in Rothesay.[1]
The family quickly move to Glasgow and in the 1851 census they are found at 1 India Street. At the next census of 1861 they are found at 7 Lynedoch Street.
They then move to 17 Belhaven Terrace and this becomes Catharine's home for the rest of her life.
Art[edit]
She was one of the founder members of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists in 1882. She served as Honorary Secretary under Georgina Greenlees presidency.
She exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute for the Fine Arts a number of times. In 1881 she exhibited the work: Sunflowers; in 1882 Daisies; in 1884 Near the end of the chapter and Summer Chrysanthemums; in 1886 Daisies; in 1887 Old Betty; and in 1889 Still life.
She may have been the same Catherine Henderson that served as Honorary Treasurer for a period in 1911.
