Description
Tirzah Garwood's autobiography offers a unique glimpse into her life as an artist and wife. After studying at Eastbourne School of Art, she was taught by Eric Ravilious and went on to create numerous wood engravings that were widely praised by the Society of Wood Engravers. However, personal life took priority after her marriage in 1930, with domestic duties and raising three children dominating her time. It wasn't until 1942, when she was recovering from breast cancer surgery, that Garwood began writing her autobiography - a remarkable achievement given the circumstances. This book provides an intimate look at Garwood's experiences as an artist and a woman in a bygone era, offering insights into her creative process and personal struggles.
