The extraordinary Ellis Rowan was no mere 'lady flower painter'. To great effect, she cast herself in the role of 'intrepid lady explorer', and became as well known for her lively accounts of flower-hunting exploits as for her paintings. This is her story, told through the wonderful paintings that form part of her collection of 970 works held by the National Library of Australia.
