Rosemary Rutherford

Rosemary Ellen Rutherford (1 September 1912—20 June 1972) was a British artist notable for her paintings and stained glass designs.

Biography Rutherford was born at Kings Norton in Worcestershire and spent part of her childhood in Broomfield near Chelmsford where her father, who was originally from County Down, was a church rector. Rutherford subsequently studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and then took a teaching post in Colchester. She received a drawing permit from the War Artists' Advisory Committee to record the work of her fellow VAD nurses and their patients.

After the war, Rutherford spent some time helping Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines in running the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing. She exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy on at least two occasions, in 1937 and 1947, with the New English Art Club and was elected a member of the Art Workers Guild in 1970.
