(b.1927)

Biography
Painter, muralist, printmaker and teacher. She studied at cheltenham College of art and the Royal College of Art, and after graduating worked in the studio of Christos Kapralos, in Greece. On returning to England she taught at a girls' school in Shropshire, then worked in advertising in London. There followed lecturing at Coloma Teacher training College in Kent; the painting of a mural for the chapel at St. May's Teacher Training College, Strawberry Hill; printmaking at Croyden College of Art; then a move in 1981 to Suffolk where she joined Gainsborough's House Print Workshop in 1982.

An exuberant colourist, Stubbs builds her images from torn paper, overlaying them with chalk, goauche and watercolour. An exceptional draughtman, she took part in numerous mixed exhibitions.

After a first solo show at Anglo-Hellenic League, Athens, she showed in London with Blenheim Gallery, Brampton gallery and Brunswick gallery, later exhibitions including Chappell Galleries, Essex, 1991, and memories of trips to India and Crete mixed with Social Realism at The John Russell Gallery, Ipswich, in 2005.

Pictures for Hospitals, Christchurch mansion, Ipswich; and Unilever all hold examples of her work.
