Originally from Co. Meath, Letitia Hamilton studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art where she was taught by William Orpen, continuing her
studies at the Slade School of Art in London and with Frank Brangwyn. She exhibited at the RHA from 1909, and was elected a member in 1944. In the
1920’s she exhibited a number of times at the Paris Salon as well as at the Goupil Gallery, Walker Gallery, International Society of Sculptors, Painters
and Gravers, Royal Society of British Artist’s and Scottish Society of Women Artist in Edinburgh. In 1945 Hamilton had a solo show at Victor Wadding-
ton Galleries in Dublin, and another in 1948, the same year that she won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games art section in London. She went on to
have three solo shows at the Dawson Gallery in the following years. Hamilton’s work can be found in major collections such as the National Gallery of
Ireland, Ulster Museum, Crawford Gallery, Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery, Office of Public Works, VHI, Wesley College and City Gallery of Art in Limerick.
