Biography
Adamson was born in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester around April to June 1888. Her Scottish father, Robert Adamson, was for a time a professor of philosophy at Owens College in Manchester, before he moved back to Scotland.[1]
Adamson studied at the Edinburgh College of Art before she moved to London, some time around 1915.[2] Before leaving Scotland, Adamson was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Scottish Academy, showing some 29 pictures, including watercolours and gouache pieces, there between 1911 and 1915.[2] During her career she also exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, with the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and at the Aberdeen Artists' Society.[2][3] In Paris, Adamson exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1913 and in 1924 she won a silver medal at the Decorative Arts Exhibition in Paris.[4][5]
