Ethel Carrick

Ethel Carrick Fox (1872–1951)[1] was the wife of painter Emanuel Phillips Fox and a major artist in her own right.

Carrick studied at the Slade School. She married E. Phillips Fox in 1905[2] and moved to Paris. She exhibited at the Salon D'Automne, Royal Academy London, Australian Art Association, Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors, as well as at solo exhibitions and dual shows with her husband's work.

She travelled extensively from 1920–1940, and lobbied Australian public gallery directors and curators to buy her husband's works. During the 1920s she was recommended by the Atelier Grande Chaumiere as a private teacher of still life painting in Paris, and included a number of Australians and Americans in Paris amongst her students.

Carrick died in Melbourne in 1951.
