Biddy's prints evoke a simpler time of Cornwall when the whole world revolved around fishing and tin mining. She captures images of the county with an almost Alfred Wallis feeling and naivety and well she might as she as been here since 1948 and has been part of the arts scene since then. She once had her own shops where she sold Bernard Leach pots and her own paintings and of course pots made by her husband Bill.
She was trained at the Slade in the war years and taught at Oxford where the Slade moved to at the time. She then went to West Wales, boarded a Breton Crabber which was on its way to France, it broke down so she got off at Newlyn and never left. A lovely story.
These Prints are printed on beautiful Albrecht Durer 210gram Watercolour Paper and mounted with Archive mount Board. .
