I am interested in the life and works of William Allen Bollard, the painter. I recently bought one of his oil paintings which I am having conserved, and have become fascinated by his career as a professional artist in Dunedin (where I live). Family tragedies including the early deaths of his two wives, played a significant role, I believe, yet he painted and exhibited until his death in 1941.
