Eden Emma Bleazard (1 March 1855 – 13 May 1946) was a visual artist from New Zealand. [1] [2] She won three awards from the Auckland Society of Arts in 1887.
Bleazard was born in Auckland, New Zealand and the daughter of Robert Bleazard, a merchant. Her sister, Clara Bleazard was also an artist, and growing up they made several trips to Europe together. [3] Bleazard and her sister were pupils of Alfred Sharpe, whose influence can be seen in Eden's early paintings. [3]
A large watercolor made by Bleazard in 1873 of her family house in Mount Eden provided an early indication of her talent as an artist. [3] She exhibited with the Auckland Society of Arts between 1881 and 1897 [4] and won three first awards from the society, including a prize for design in 1887. [3] Her works include Tara Tara Mountain, Whangaroa Harbor (1884). [5] [6]
