| Audrey Pilkington (1922-2015) |
Born at Heaning, Lancashire in 1922, daughter of George Pilkington (1892-1968), a land agent, and his wife Florence. In 1939 she attended Lancaster School of Art and afterwards at the Slade School of Art. During the war years The Slade relocated to Oxford, was poorly staffed and comprising almost entirely of female students. Audrey made friends with fellow student Bernard Dunstan and through him met her future husband, Patrick Heriz-Smith who was Bernard's flatmate and a fellow artist.
In 1942 Audrey and Patrick married and Patrick took up the post of Art Master at Gordonstoun, which had been evacuated to Wales. It was whilst in Wales that the couple's two eldest children were born, the first of six, despite the demands of a growing family and house-moves to necessitated by her husband's career Audrey Pilkington seems to have juggled home making with a fruitful artistic career throughout her life, aged just 19 she produced the first of many book cover designs for Chatto and Windus and Jonathan Cape, she also illustrated books, and magazines including Vogue and also continued to produce fine work for exhibition, showing her work to critical acclaim in London galleries including The Redfearn and also on the Continent.
In 1947 the family moved to King Alfred School in Plön, Germany, a progressive British Forces Boarding School, where her husband was Housemaster and Head of the Art Department and then in 1954 they returned to England to the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, near Ipswich where her husband was Head of Art. In 1961 they moved to Clock House, Bruisyard and Audrey developed a residential art school, together with her daughter Bridgette, she expanded this to include an etching workshop and bronze casting foundry, the art school in time became a significant cultural hub. In 1988 Audrey moved to West Glamorgan and died in Wales last year. The present group of works comes from the artist's estate and demonstrates both a tremendous command of her media, and an ability to capture the artistic essence of the period, both attributions which made her a highly sought after designer and artist throughout her stellar career.
