Artist Biography
Kate Eadie was a student at the Birmingham School of Art, where she met the painter Sidney Meteyard. Kate sat as model for a number of Meteyard's works, and the two collaborated on stained glass designs.
Eadie worked in many media: as an enameller, a jeweller and manuscript illuminator, embracing the Arts and Crafts style. She was the first female member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, becoming an associate in 1915. Late in life, she married Meteyard.
Eadie exhibited seven works, mostly enamel panels, at the Royal Academy Summer Show between 1905 and 1915. There is a three-panelled firescreen by Eadie, depicting the Fates, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. A miniature entitled St. Ceciliawas commissioned to hang in the library of Queen Mary's Dolls' House, a Lutyens designed project, built in the 1920s.
