Nan Richards
Nan Richards had some preliminary training at Manchester School of Art in England.
English by birth, she lived in Trinidad for many years, working first as a book illustrator and as an illustrator for the Trinidad Guardian. She was also well known for her back- drops and scenery for local theatre productions.
In the early 1950's she experimented painting in oils. Her landscapes remain among the most profound expressions from that period, not being considered typical of the purely decorative pieces. She extended her media into watercolour and silk-screen.
Richards moved to the US where she died.
