Early life

Bleazard was born in Auckland, New Zealand and the daughter of Robert Bleazard, a merchant. Her sister, Clara Bleazard was also an artist, and growing up they made several trips to Europe together.[3] Bleazard and her sister were pupils of Alfred Sharpe, whose influence can be seen in Eden's early paintings.[3]

Career

A large watercolor made by Bleazard in 1873 of her family house in Mount Eden provided an early indication of her talent as an artist.[3] She exhibited with the Auckland Society of Arts between 1881 and 1897[4] and won three first awards from the society, including a prize for design in 1887.[3] Her works include Tara Tara Mountain, Whangaroa Harbor (1884).[5][6]
