Anna Teasdale

Anna Teasdale, born in 1932, was an artist best known for her atmospheric, light-filled paintings of the British landscape, and its patchwork quality. These include many views of the West Country where she lived and raised a family from the mid-1960s, and until she died in 2020.

As a young girl Anna Teasdale was based near Rye, East Sussex, and there encountered the work of Edward Burra, whose large-scale landscape watercolours were to remain of life-long influence. Teasdale went on to study at Central St Martins in London where she met her husband, Robyn Denny, to whom she was married until 1975.

Exhibitions of Teasdale’s paintings have been held at Arthur Jeffress Gallery and at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London and her work is held in many private collections.
