"After studying at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1932 to 1936, Mary Fedden returned to her native city of Bristol to work and teach. She stopped painting altogether during the war, when she engaged upon a number of different national duties. Settling in London after the war, she returned to painting with a determination to break away from its formal conventions and give it more of the bright colour, broad strokes and simplified form that she had long admired in stage and costume design. The still life set before a landscape, explored in manifold inventive varieties of combination and composition, continues to be her best-known motif. She enjoyed an immensely successful career both as painter and teacher for over fifty years."
