Sarah Gough Adamson

Sarah Gough Adamson, later Sarah Gough Walker, (1888–1963) was a British artist. Although she was born in Manchester, Gough established her reputation as a landscape painter in Scotland.

Biography Adamson was born in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester around April to June 1888. Her Scottish father, Robert Adamson, was for a time a professor of philosophy at Owens College in Manchester, before he moved back to Scotland.

Adamson studied at the Edinburgh College of Art before she moved to London, some time around 1915. Before leaving Scotland, Adamson was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Scottish Academy, showing some 29 pictures, including watercolours and gouache pieces, there between 1911 and 1915. In Paris, Adamson exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1913 and in 1924 she won a silver medal at the Decorative Arts Exhibition in Paris.
