| Artist's Statement |
I use an innovative technique, using acrylic
or watercolour with gouache, chalk and pastel, and build up
delicate layers of radiant and exotically coloured textures
on canvas or board.

| Biography |
Constance Stubbs studied at the Cheltenham
School of Art and in l946 gained a scholarship to the Royal
College of Art where she worked under Professor Robin Darwin
and tutors including Ruskin Spear, John Minton, Carel Weight
and Rodrigo Moynihan.
During her long career as an artist she was also senior lecturer
at the Coloma Teacher Training College in Kent and spent a sabbatical
year print-making at Croydon College of Art, as well as marrying
and bringing up a young family.
Constance Stubbs became an established artist following her
move to Pakenham in Suffolk, which afforded her the opportunity
to develop and further her diverse talents. Her reputation rests
mainly on a wonderful gift for drawing, etching and portraiture,
thus combining technical virtuosity with originality of composition
through her perceptive and compassionate portrayal of everyday
life.
