Cards by Peggy Ryan
"...she drew so well that she stood out a mile. She was
first to be awarded the Ida Nettleship Scholarship, for Domestic
Employment, a painting of her fellow student Dodie
Masterman sewing.Her claim was not to have done anything
at the Slade during the first three of her five years there, except
"coming alive, sitting in coffee houses, meeting poets from the
university...
...During the 1980s she moved to Diss, Norfolk, to a higgledy-piggledy
cottage that she filled with bibelots and pictures. She continued to do
still lifes, always painting standing up, or doing portraits, as
Professor Schwabe had advised her, long ago. She said she had no
philosophy other than "No one is really old inside", and admitted to
having been "a bit too independent", athough it made her glad. She
retained a gentle pessimism – about herself, "not about the world" – as
well as an easy resonance with young people, to whom she gave the idea
that a modest existence was a good one."
