History
Studied at the GSA from the age of 13, between 1888 and 1893. Born in Airdrie, Lanarkshire, ‘Aniza’ was part of a large and artistically gifted family. She attended the GSA with two of her sisters, Jessie and Mary Catherine (who later become a nun, and took the name Sister Callista.)
In 1895 Aniza was the joint winner of a Haldane Travelling Scholarship, worth £50. This financed a trip to Paris in 1896, where she studied at the Colorossi Academy. On her return to Glasgow, she shared a studio at 134 Bath St with Jessie until 1899. After her marriage to Vincent Murphy, a timber merchant, she moved to Liverpool in 1900. She exhibited at the RA, London Summer exhibition 7 times, (1902-1931) – one work each year, mainly portrait busts, and at the RGIFA 11 times, (1894-1930) roughly two works per show.
