Biography
Burcher was born Catherine Wright Kerry in Bebington, Cheshire, United Kingdom, to Rubens James Kerry.[1] On 9 May 1871 in Wallasey, Cheshire, she married Albert Edward Burcher, and they arrived in Auckland, New Zealand in 1878.[2][3]
She was trained by a fellow of the Royal Art Society before she left the United Kingdom.[2] She was well known for both her painting and glazing china.[1] Burcher was secretary of an Auckland society for ladies who painted china, and she was given several pieces of china by Sir George Grey for her to copy.[4]
Burcher was a member of the Auckland Art Society from its foundation and exhibited with them multiple times from 1881 to 1895.[1][2][5][6] She also exhibited with the Society of Artists in 1879 and the Colonial and Indian exhibition in London in 1886;[1][5] was on the committee of and exhibited with the New Zealand Art Students Association from 1884 to 1885;[1] and taught art at the Auckland Girls' High School and in 1882 organised an exhibition of art by the students.[7]
During World War I, she made a copy of Edmund Blair Leighton's In Time of Peril, which is in the Auckland City Art Gallery (now Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki) collection.[1] It took 12 months for Burcher to make the copy and she consulted Leighton for advice as she painted.[8] Sources are divided on how much Burcher's copy sold for to benefit the Red Cross: Platts states it was £2000, whereas her obituary suggests it was £800, both, however, were well above its estimated value of £500.[1][2][9]
She died in Auckland on 19 May 1921.[1][2]
