{"title":"Clacy, Ellen Louise","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEllen Louise Clacy (1853-1916)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a British watercolourist. She participated numerous times with the Royal Academy throughout her career from 1870 to 1916, and her works include landscapes, scenes of rural life, and history painting. She was the daughter of travel writer Ellen Louise Clacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEllen Louise Clacy was born to the author Ellen Clacy (1830-1901) in 1853 on a boat from Australia to England. Ellen Clacy Sr. (née Sturmer) married mining engineer Charles Berry Clacy in 1854 and resided in England. Beginning in the 1850s, she wrote novels, newspaper and magazine articles, and travel writing under the pseudonym Cycla. She was best known for an account of Australian gold mines A Lady's Visit to the Gold Diggings of Australia from 1852-1853. By 1871, she was describing herself as a widow. The younger Ellen Clacy began her career as a professional artist in the 1870s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClacy exhibited works regularly with the Royal Watercolour Society and Society of British Artists. She exhibited with the Royal Academy twenty-seven times from 1872 to 1900. Many of her exhibited works were the result of painting excursions during which she travelled independently in the countryside. Her painting Will Myers, Ratcatcher and Poacher, shown at the Royal Academy in 1885, was painted on a trip \"up North\", where Clacy used a local carpenter in his shop as her model. Clacy's works of rural and northern life have been analysed by art historian Deborah Cherry as the responses of a metropolitan tourist to an unknown place. Her travels also influenced works shown at the Liverpool Academy: The Vagrant (exhibited in 1876 with the lines: \"But of the wanderer none took thought\/ And where it pleased her best she sought\/ Her shelter and her bread\") and Wither (exhibited in 1890); both paintings depict female travellers in the countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1880, the Walker Art Gallery exhibited Flight, priced at £50 and called \"a very charming evening landscape\" by The Academy weekly review. The Old Poacher (1885) was purchased by the Walker Art Gallery in 1886 from the Liverpool Autumn Exhibition for its permanent collection. In 1886 Clacy also exhibited The Cry from the Snowdrift at the Royal Academy, which was reviewed as \"a carefully-finished work\" by Truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"women-artists-180-images","title":"Women Artists - 180 High Resolution Images","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWomen artists have long shaped the landscape of creativity, using their voices and visions to challenge norms and inspire change, however until recently, the work of many of these women has been overlooked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWomen not only express unique perspectives but also illuminate the experiences of marginalised communities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey carve spaces for dialogue, provoke thought, and evoke emotion through their art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCelebrating their contributions reminds us of the importance of diversity in artistic expression.
