Elizabeth is the youngest and beloved daughter of Veronika Sipos and Zoltan Gervay, refugees from war torn Europe. Australia adopted them in 1949 and the family thrived.
Australia, where a hand-shake was a hand-shake, and vegemite sandwiches were accompanied by Hungarian cabbage rolls.
On Sundays, reprieved from the Holden factory and piece making of the sewing room ~ music, art and dance enveloped Elizabeth with Veronika’s violin, Tomas’s piano accordion, Susan’s piano notes and the colourful swirling ribbons of the czardas in her father’s arms.
Elizabeth, accepted her obligations – qualified as a Primary Teacher – establishing a Creative Arts Centre at Newtown Public school, continuing the love of arts by curating over 60 art exhibitions in Woollahra.
