Elected as a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1972 and the Royal Academy in 1976, Dame Elizabeth Blackadder RSA RA was the first woman to become a member of both institutions. She is widely recognised as one of Scotland's most significant twentieth-century artists. Born in Falkirk, she studied at Edinburgh College of Art under Sir Robin Philipson PPRSA and Sir William Gillies RSA. She lectured at the college from 1962 until her retirement in 1986.
Blackadder painted largely in oil and watercolours but was also a skilled printmaker, working in a variety of techniques. Her sensitivity to her surroundings inspired still-life paintings in which she depicted objects in her studio, often brought home from travels around Europe and Asia.
