I believe the answer is:

hodgkins

'new zealand painter' is the definition.
(New Zealand painter Frances Hodgkins)

'good family dosh liberally spread around' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'liberally' indicates an anagram.
'spread around' is an insertion indicator.
'dosh' is an anagram of 'hods'.
'g'+'kin'='gkin'
'gkin' going within 'hods' is 'HODGKINS'.

'from' is the link.
