During WW2, Ethleen Palmer taught remedial art practice to returned soldiers. She then founded an art school, the Double Bay Studio, that ran from 1945-1951. Palmer's work was always evolving and she developed a technique in linocut printing which allowed for subtle tonal gradation, a breakthrough that certainly boosted the profile of her art.
