Caroline Lush

Caroline Ellen Lush (née White) (18 June 1854 - 5 November 1945) was a New Zealand artist. She began painting at age 10 and attended Auckland Free School of Art. On 5 April 1883, she married John Martin Hawkins Lush, a lawyer and the third son of Archdeacon Vicesimus Lush. In March 1884, as a student of Auckland Free School of Art, Lush won a medal for her work "Copy from the flat".

A large number of her paintings are part of the archive of Ewelme Cottage, the house built by Archdeacon Lush, which was gifted, along with its contents, to the public in 1971.
