Note: Gwendoline Margaret Hopton was born in 1866 and she joined the St Ives artists colony some time between 1901 and 1910. She started exhibiting from 1897 and showed works at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Miniature Society and the Royal Society of Artists, Birmingham. She also held a solo show at the Walker’s Gallery in London.
Her promising career was cut tragically short when, on 14th July 1913, whilst cycling at Beckford (near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire), she collided with a carriage and sustained a fractured skull, from which she died.
