Text originally created for Tūrangawaewae: Art and New Zealand exhibition at Te Papa, March 2018. A New Zealand artist abroad, painted by her Irish tutor. Dorothy Kate Richmond (1861–1935) took summer sketching classes with Norman Garstin in France, Cornwall, Belgium, and Holland between 1901 and 1903. She and her travelling companion, the painter Frances Hodgkins, agreed that in Garstin they had met their ‘ideal artist & man at last’. The pair exhibited together in Wellington on their return – but while Hodgkins pursued a career overseas, Richmond remained, becoming a central figure in the local art scene. He ringatoi nō Aotearoa ki tāwāhi, he mea peita e tana kaiako nō Airani. I whai wāhi a Dorothy Kate Richmond (1861–1935) ki ngā karaehe huahua a Norman Garstin i Wīwī, i Kāngawāra, i Pēhiamu me Hōrana mai i te tau 1901 ki te tau 1903. I whakaae rāua ko tana hoa haere, a Frances Hodgkins, ko Garstin te “tino ringatoi me te tino tāne”. I whakaatu tahi rāua i ā rāua mahi ki Pōneke i tā rāua hokinga mai – heoi, nō Hodgkins ka whai oranga ki tāwāhi, ka noho a Richmond hei pou i te hapori toi.
