Biography


Sweatman was born in South Yarra[2] 1872.[3] She took drawing classes at a suburban ladies' college, and was recommended by her teacher to join the National Gallery School, where she studied for two years under Frederick McCubbin.[2] She also studied painting while at the school with Bernard Hall.[2] Sweatman was initially involved with the Victorian Artists' Society but her support for Max Meldrum eventually led to her being ousted along with friend A.M.E. Bale.[2] She started her career painting portraits but eventually found the lure of nature led her towards landscapes.[2] Building her house 'The Kipsy' next door to fellow artist Clara Southern, they both took an active role in developing the artistic community in Warrandyte, Victoria.[4] She helped establish annual art exhibitions with the Warrandyte Women's Auxiliary Association, serving on a committee of resident artists as secretary.[5]

She was a founding member of the group, Twenty Melbourne Painters Society, that was formed by students and followers of Australian Tonalist Max Meldrum.[6] Sweatman was considered to be one of Australia's most famous painters of wattle.[7] She has works in the collections of the Hamilton Gallery,[8] Castlemaine Art Museum,[9] and the National Gallery of Victoria.[10]

In 1922 Sweatman was a finalist for the Archibald Prize for her Portrait Miss A.M.E. Bale. The same year A.M.E. Bale was a finalist with her portrait of Miss Jo Sweatman.[11] Sweatman died in 1956.[3]
