Thomas Griffiths Wainewright was an English artist, author and suspected serial killer. He gained a reputation as a profligate and a dandy, and in 1837, was transported to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land for frauds on the Bank of England. As a convict he became a portraitist for Hobart's elite.
