Transnational artist and writer Ethel Anderson (née Mason, 1883-1958) left her mark in Turramurra through her boundary-pushing support of 20th-century Australian modernist artists.
From her Turramurra home ‘Ball Green,’ Anderson cultivated her influence on Sydney’s modern art scene. She generously hosted artists, even clearing furniture for exhibitions to gather public support of their work. She also established the Turramurra Wall Painters Group in 1927. It was from her Turramurra home, too, that she wrote extensively on modern art alongside penning her own prose and poetry.
