Hilda Alexandra Wiseman was born in 1894 in Australia, but while still very young travelled with her parents to New Zealand. Her father was the architect Alexander Wiseman (1865 - 1915) who designed many Auckland buildings, including the familiar Ferry Building at the bottom of Queen Street. He also designed the house in which his daughter lived in Ranfurly Road, Epsom. After leaving school she showed an inclination towards art and it seemed natural that she would turn to it as a profession to earn a living.

She trained at Elam School of Art, attending life classes and doing metal work, with private tuition in her other accomplishment, illuminated address design. She commenced designing and cutting blocks in 1925 and, after she did several bookplates for members of her family, orders came from outside. So began her life as a commercial artist, which continued until her death.
