Yvonne Drewry Yvonne Drewry ( 18 February 1918 – 9 August 2007 ) was an English artist and art teacher , noted for her work in and around Suffolk . Early life and education . Yvonne Marjorie Drewry was born in Brentford , Middlesex , to Alfred F . Vere Drewry ( 1888-1980 ) and his wife Ada , née Anniss ( 1883-1965 ) . Her father ran a motor parts shop on Deansgate in Manchester . Her uncle James Sidney Drewry was an engineer and co-founder of Shelvoke and Drewry , one of the UKs largest manufacturers of municipal waste wagons and fire engines . After studying at Southport College of Art , in 1939 Drewry won an Andrew Grant scholarship of £120 a year for three years to train at the Edinburgh College of Art , where she studied under William George Gillies , John Maxwell and book illustrator Joan Hassall . Work . Drewry was a prolific artist , working in oil , watercolour , and pen and ink . She was also a notable print-maker and typographer . Her other work included woven textiles and handicrafts . Her work was exhibited regularly in Suffolk galleries , including an annual exhibition at the Denis Taplin Gallery in Woodbridge , Gallery 44 in Aldeburgh , Mall Galleries , Gainsboroughs House , Sudbury , Wolsey Art Gallery , Ipswich , and in her own studio , and featured several times in local press articles ; she also exhibited internationally and made sales in France and the US , and is licensed through Bridgeman Images . From 1985 she was part of the 8+1 Suffolk Group , a group of nine artists that could manage and present their own exhibitions . Their first show was at Broughton Gallery , Lanarkshire in August 1985 . Her main subjects were landscapes and seascapes celebrating the Suffolk countryside , along with still life pictures of flowers , plants and trees , including those growing in her own garden ; she also produced occasional portraits . Her work was mainly figurative , although her later works were much more abstract in character , using vivid colours and broad brushstrokes . She is mentioned in Patrick Trevor-Ropers influential book The World Through Blunted Sight : An inquiry into the influence of defective vision on art and character ( 1970 ) as having different colour perception in each eye . Her works are rarely titled , and whilst the landscapes are clearly recognisable , they are not usually particularly well-known views , although she did paint Snape Maltings and Shingle Street . She was highly commended in the 1994 Laing Art Competition . She generally worked from life and traveled around Suffolk and Norfolk in a Fiat 238 camper van seeking suitable subjects . Oil . Working largely on board , her oil paintings used a broad impasto with vivid colours . The earlier work is mainly figurative , but her later works were more impressionistic and dramatic . They were generally signed Yvonne Drewry and the year in oil paint . Watercolour . The watercolour paintings were small , many being pen and ink drawings tinted with colour wash . They were generally signed Yvonne Drewry and the year in pen . Prints . Her earliest works , including book illustrations , were generally in woodcut , but later she worked mostly in multi-layered linocut , often with as many as eight or nine different colours , generally printing on handmade Japanese paper . Most prints were unsigned , but some contained the initials YD in a cartouche . Books . In 1943 Yvonne Drewry illustrated World Under Water , the Adventures of Matthew , Jill and Poco , published with Robert Campbell at the Symbole Press , Woodford Green , Essex . The first of four parts was Matthew Explores , containing two colour prints by Drewry . From 1944 , Drewry created several short run private press illustrated books that she printed herself on an Albion press and bound under the imprint The Black Mill Press , and later The Centaury Press ( a reference to her favoured font , Bruce Rogers Centaur ( typeface ) , a well as the flower ) . The books were typically in editions of 24 , printed on roughly cut handmade paper with slipcases . She illustrated existing work , including Edmund Spensers Prothalamion , or used Japanese haiku to inspire her own illustrations ; she also produced a posthumous edition of the engravings of Viola Paterson , who was the niece of the painter James Paterson and mother of Drewrys friend from her Edinburgh college days , the artist Anne Paterson Wallace . Ephemera . Drewry produced her own exhibition catalogues and posters in letterpress , and also created her own Christmas cards , which were usually multi-coloured linocuts , showing the influence of Joan Hassall . She also produced hand woven cloth on a floor loom , and made textile items such as appliqué cushions , and produced smaller craft items sold in her annual Sales of Work . Teaching . Drewry was an important teacher of art at the Amberfield School in Nacton , in Felixstowe , and at various local authority run evening classes for adults ; she also ran short painting and printing courses in her own home . She was active in various art groups including the Deben ( later Felixstowe ) Art Group . Her pupils included Maggi Hambling , who cites her as a major childhood influence , and Malta based artist Juliet Horncastle . Personal life . In 1941 , Drewry married Robert Alexander ( Bob ) Campbell ( 1916-2008 ) , whom she met at Edinburgh College of Art . In 1942 they moved to Trimley St Martin in Suffolk , where they had four children . Drewry and Campbell had separated by 1968 , when Campbell emigrated to Canada . Although known in her personal life after marriage as Mrs . Campbell , she always painted and exhibited under the name Yvonne Drewry .
