Featured Artist
Painter born the daughter of a printer in Hackney, London. She studied at Walthamstow School of Art before moving to Cornwall in 1959 which is the motivation for most of her paintings. They depict community life and the landscape of West Cornwall and arguably pay homage to the work of Carel Weight. She was the winner of the 'Small Picture Lives Again' competition held at the Wills Lane Gallery, St. Ives in 1972 which first brought her to public attention. Her first solo exhibition was held at Exeter University in 1975 and since then she has shown extensively not only in Cornwall at the NSA, in London at the New Grafton Gallery and a retrospective at the Newlyn Art Gallery in 1990.
In 2002 a second retrospective was held at the Great Map Works Gallery in St. Just, to mark the publication of a book about her work. Examples of her paintings are in the collections of the East and West Riding of Yorkshire, Leicestershire County Council, Birmingham University, MOMA, Wales at Machynlleth, the University of Exeter Art Collection and Vassar College, New York, USA.
