Production date

Description
German-born Jewish artist Margot Philips (1902 – 1988) began her artistic career only after her arrival in Kirikiriroa Hamilton in 1938. Enrolling in a series of adult art classes, Philips first experimented with landscape painting in the 1950s, rising in prominence as a landscape painter through the 1960s and 1970s.
This early student work likely shows plants in the garden of St Paul’s Church, Symonds Street, Auckland, produced while Philips was in Auckland attending an annual Residential Summer School in Art and Design in 1952.
