German-born Jewish artist Margot Philips (1902 – 1988) is one of the Waikato’s leading twentieth-century artists. Philips’ career as an artist began after she arrived in Kirikiriroa Hamilton in 1938, first experimenting with landscape painting in the 1950s, and then rising in prominence through the 1960s and 1970s. This work is from her Coromandel series which she started in the mid-1960s. Philips painted landscapes throughout her career and was considered one of the key proponents of the Waikato regionalist approach.
