Painter, notably of portraits, landscapes and coastal scenes, born in Glasgow, daughter of the artist Robert McGown Coventry. She studied at Glasgow School of Art, 1902–11, and painted with her father in the Netherlands, Belgium and at Pittenweem, Fife, where she met her future husband, Edward Robertson. She married him in 1915, the year after her father died. After her husband had relinquished the chair in semitic languages at Bangor, north Wales, 1921–34, she moved to Didsbury, near Manchester, then in 1962 to Canada, where she died in Hudson, Ontario. Coventry joined the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists in 1905, also exhibiting extensively with the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, RSA, RCamA, RA and elsewhere.
