A painter and sketcher. During her time spent living in central west Queensland, she sketched and painted the bush.
painter andsketcher, was born on 3 January 1850 at Sedgeford Hall, the Dower House of Heacham Hall, Norfolk, fourth of the nine children of Charles Fawcett Neville-Rolfe and Martha Holt, nee Chapman. She was educated by a governess and learnt Latin from the local vicar. 1861-63 was spent in Italy with her family, where her mother died. Her father later remarried. Harriet Jane found her stepmother unsympathetic and escaped to London, where she attended the Slade, probably from its opening in 1871. In 1874 she moved to Paris and studied at L’Ecole Nationale deDessin de Jeunes Filles (1874-77), winning bronze medals in its student 'concours de place’. A first-prize charcoal head of a young woman (1874) and a full-length female figure drawing (1876), are held in private collection. 'HJ’ (as she signed her work) remained in Paris—where she converted to Roman Catholicism—until 1883, then left to visit her sister and brother-in-law, Margaret and Charles Torrey, brothers Charles (Carl) and Arthur and Carl’s wife, Kunigunda (Kunie), who were all living on a cattle station in central-west Queensland. During the year and a half she spent at Alpha, HJ depicted with verve most of the activities associated with the property: drafting the cows, branding the cattle, breaking in the horses, the Alpha and Frankfield mailmen and the carriers waiting for the beef. She went camping ( Alpha Creek at Rainmore 11 February 1884, 'the eve of our first night in the bush’), kangaroo huntingand visited the outstations

Have a suspicion that Ann's maiden name is Thornely. There is an Ann Thornely born in Bradley at the correct time and married a Joseph Goodwin, not Joseph Goodall, in 1801 which is also exactly when you would expect (Ann would be 21 andfirst child within a year)
