Wendy Paramor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wendy Paramor (12 December 1938 – 28 November 1975) was an Australian artist.

Paramor was born in Melbourne. After leaving school at the age of 15, she studied art at the East Sydney Technical College and Julian Ashton art school, before leaving for Europe in 1960 where she held exhibitions in Lisbon, London and New York. She returned to Sydney in 1963 and established herself in a Philip Cox-designed underground house at West Hoxton. She experimented with sculpture and had two sculptures featured in the opening of the National Gallery of Victoria's new building in 1968. However, at the age of just 34, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and she died in 1975.[1]
