Now in her eighties, Eve Quarmby (born 1923) has been painting for over sixty years. Following initial training as a nurse, she studied art at the Central School of Art and St. Martin’s and received great encouragement from her father, George. She subsequently secured ‘a fabulous job’ working with F.H.K. Henrion in the art department of a large publishing house. This was followed by a move to Henrion’s Hampstead studio where they worked together on many, now iconic, images for the 1951 Exhibition.

After moving to Bristol in the late 1950s Eve continued her development as an artist and teacher. She has had many solo and joint exhibitions in galleries and private venues around Bristol.

Typical of Eve Quarmby's painting is the subtly modulated still-life where, carefully selected, commonplace objects, whilst depicted as subjects for quietly dynamic formal arrangements, nevertheless acquire significance that seems to belie their ordinariness.
