N.Z. painter
Sir.—About World War I two professional painters, Hugh Scott and Charles Bickerton. shared a studio near Hokitika. They took a limited number of students, one Miss Rhona Haszard, who was born in Thames in 1901, but soon after settled with her family in the Hokitika region. She lived for a period in Invercargill and in the early 1920 s attended the Canterbury College of Art being tutored by Archibald Nicoll, Richard Wallwork, Leonard Booth and Cecil Kelly. She met a Mr Lesley Greener and travelled abroad with him in 1926, but she was tragically killed in February, 1931. Those familiar with her style would agree that she showed great potential and that her death was a loss to New Zealand's art. Little is known of her life and I would like to approach readers who may have had a direct or indirect association with Miss Haszard or those two professional painters who set up a studio in Hokitika. - Yours, etc., R. M. ROBERTS, 19 Turriff Crescent, Lindenvale, Tawa, Wellington. May 26, 1982.
