Harriet Amelia Greenwood (née Sampson, 1869 – 9 September 1948) was a botanical illustrator based in New Zealand.
Harriet Amelia Greenwood was born Harriet Amelia Sampson in 1869 in Lockwood, Australia. [1] [2] She married Rev. Arthur John Greenwood in 1897 in Wagga Wagga. [3] They moved around parishes within Australia and New Zealand. In New Zealand, Rev. Greenwood was a vicar at St. Luke's Church in Mt. Albert, Holy Trinity in Devonport and at St. Albans, Balmoral. [4]
She exhibited in the Auckland Society of Arts. Her depiction of Kōwhai at the 1918 exhibition was described by the critic as:
"Yellow Kowhai," by Mrs. H. A. Greenwood, occupies a prominent position. Kowhai is not easy to paint. It does not mass well, and yet its blooms are small for individual treatment. Mrs. Greenwood has made a plucky attempt and given good painstaking work. [5]
Her illustration of a spray of jacaranda also drew mention in the 1920 exhibition write up. [6] [7] Nine of her illustrations are now in the Auckland War Memorial Museum. [1]
She died on 9 September 1948, aged 79, and was buried in Purewa Cemetery. [1] [8]
