Wilhelmina Barns-Graham
 
Biography
 
1912 - 2004  In middle age, Barns-Graham (always Willie to those who knew her) was a worried woman, depressed by personal problems and, as a painter, oppressed by sexist, classist and envious undercurrents in the artistic community of St Ives, Cornwall, where she had made he home since 1940.  She was a prolific and prominent British abstract painter who was a member of the influential St Ives group of artists during the 1940's that included sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and who continued to paint into her 90's.
