Shirley Brenda Teed

Shirley Brenda Teed (1933-2018) was a British artist. In her seven decade career Teed often depicted groups of people gathered together in social occasions and also landscapes and geological formations.

Biography Teed was born in Bristol and attended Badminton School before studying at the West of England College of Art from 1949 to 1954. After graduation she spent a year teaching at St Brandon's School in Somerset and then spent three years in Australia following her marriage to Peter Teed. In Australia she had an exhibition in Melbourne and also met the curator John Brock, who was a great influence on her art.

Shirley and Peter Teed eventually retired to Crantock in Cornwall where they both died in 2018, within ten days of each other. A large retrospective of Shirley Teed's paintings was held in York later that year.
