Bernice E. Edwell

Bernice E. Edwell (1880–1962), was an Australian painter specialising in miniatures. She was a founding member of the Sydney Society of Women Painters and the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society. She was the half-sister of Mary Edwell-Burke. Her family moved to Sydney, Australia when she was a child.

She studied at the Royal Art Society of New South Wales, where she was taught by Frank P. Mahony. She also travelled to Paris where she studied at the Académie Colarossi for around 16 months between 1899 and 1900,

Edwell established herself in Sydney, then Melbourne as a miniaturist. She won first prize for two of her miniatures at the Women's Work Exhibition at Melbourne in 1907. The Art Gallery of New South Wales purchased one of the winning paintings, with the other by the exhibition's President, Lady Northcote (wife of the Governor-General of Australia).

Along with several solo shows in Melbourne from 1915 through 1934, Edwell was included in a 1923 group show with A.M.E. Bale and Jo Sweatman at the Melbourne Athenaeum.

Edwell died in 1962 in Sydney.
