Helen Dora Lempriere (12 December 1907 – 5 November 1991) was an Australian painter, sculptor and printmaker.[1]
Born in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern on 12 December 1907, she was the only child of Charles Algernon Lempriere and Dora Elizabeth Octavia, née Mitchell.[1] She was educated at Toorak Ladies' College (1925) and then received tuition in art first from A. D. Colquhoun and later from Justus Jorgensen.
Conception totenism, a 1956 painting employing Aboriginal themes, is held in the Art Gallery of New South Wales.[2] Other similar paintings and also prints donated by her husband after her death are in the collection of National Gallery of Australia[3] and in the Grainger Museum at the University of Melbourne.[4]
