Deirdre Henty-Creer (28 December 1918 – 9 January 2012) was an Australian painter known for her flower and portrait studies who spent the majority of her career in Britain.[1]
Henty-Creer was privately educated and a self-taught artist.[2] During World War II she worked for the Ministry of Information in London and, in 1941, had a solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society.[2] She also exhibited at the Royal Academy and with the New English Art Club.[2] Several print companies produced reproductions of her work.[2] Henty-Creer represented Britain at the painting event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[3] Her sister, Pam Mellor, was also an artist.[2]
