She was educated at Victoria College, Belfast, Belfast School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London.[2] She studied sculpture under Édouard Lantéri and exhibited at the Royal Academy and internationally. She was awarded the CBE in 1919. During the First World War she worked for the Surgical Requisites Association at Mulberry Walk in Chelsea, London.[3] Acheson received the Gleichen Memorial Award in 1938.[4] She divided her time between London and Glenavy, County Antrim, Northern Ireland.[5][6] CareerAcheson first exhibited her artwork at the Royal Academy in 1913, when her sculpture 'The Pixie' was accepted. Over the next four decades, 30 of her sculptures were featured in 22 exhibitions.[6] Acheson's work included statuettes, portrait heads, and garden figurines. While her early works were sculpted from wood, her later sculptures were largely done in metal, stone, or concrete. Achesons lived at 51 Carrickblacker Rd Portadown Co Armagh. Her parents are on 1901 census at that address. Wartime servicesDuring the First World War she volunteered with the Surgical Requisites Association. Witnessing soldiers returning from the front with broken limbs held together with only wooden splints and basic bandages, Acheson suggested taking a plaster cast of the limb and when the cast had hardened, wrapping papier-mache over it, and placing it over the broken limb to support it whilst healing. This was inspired by the plaster of Paris she used in her sculptural work. The anatomically correct papier-mache splint reduced the healing time while properly supporting the broken limb. The idea of using plaster of Paris was adopted and refined over the years and is still in use today by the medical profession.[7] Acheson retrained as a precision engineer and draftswoman during the Second World War to enable her to carry out further voluntary work. She also worked for the Red Cross during the conflict.[8] CommemorationA blue plaque commemorating her achievements was unveiled at First Presbyterian Church, Bridge Street, Portadown on 27th September 2018 by her great nephew, Rev John Glasgow Faris.[7][8] WorksDates for works refer to when they were first exhibited.
