- About this work
-
Ann Gillmore Rees was a successful teacher and artist. Born in Bristol in 1900, she trained at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London between 1923 and 1928, studying design for printed textiles, book illustration and embroidery, as well as wood engraving. Rees went on to teach embroidery between 1933 and 1938 at the Institute of Education at London University, where she attracted great praise. Her needlework featured in an exhibition of modern embroidery at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, in 1933, not long after this piece was made.
