Avery was born Alice Lethbridge Perry in Masterton on 2 September 1868, the sixth daughter of Bennet Pascoe Perry and Mary Ann Perry (née Masters).[1][2][3][4][5] On 18 September 1895, she married Alfred Avery, who worked for the Government Life Insurance Department, in Masterton.[6] They had two sons, including Norman Alfred Avery.[1][7][8] They lived in Napier and later in Hastings.[1]

Avery exhibited at Auckland Society of Arts, Canterbury Society of Arts (1909 and 1925) and New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts (1905–1948).[3] She exhibited at local clubs and societies, including the Masterton Sketch Club's annual exhibition, Havelock North Arts and Crafts exhibition, and the first exhibition of the Hawke's Bay Art Society.[9][10][11] She sold four paintings at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts 1922 and 1930 exhibitions.[12][13] Her artist files are held at Te Papa and one of her paintings is in MTG Hawke's Bay.[3]

Her niece, Marion Tylee, who was also an artist, included a biography of her aunt in her papers, deposited at the National Library of New Zealand.[1]

Avery died in Hastings on 29 September 1957, having been predeceased by her husband in 1917, and her ashes were buried in Havelock North Cemetery.[3][7][14][15][16]
