Anthea Craigmyle British, 1933-2016

Renowned Painter Anthea Craigmyle grew up along the banks of Chiswick Mall.

Anthea Craigmyle's father was the Vicar at St Nicholas' Church on Chiswick Mall. Taught at school by Henry Moore's wife Irina, and at Chelsea School of Art by Ceri Richardson and Julian Trevelyan, a close neighbour, she later travelled to India and, on her return, married Donald (Lord) Craigmyle. After the death of her husband in 1998, Anthea moved back from Hampstead to her original home ground, where she lived a few hundred yards closer to Hammersmith in 'the last house in Chiswick' along the river.

A regular highlight of the Artists at Home circuit, Anthea's paintings deal with domestic life, allotments, walks in Chiswick House gardens, churchyards, nature, people, boats, and landscapes.

Anthea Craigmyle died in 2016.
