Museum of Chelmsford, 21st June 2025
I was invited to give a talk at the Museum of Chelmsford on Rosemary Rutherford (1912-1972), a prolific artist who spent much
of her life in East Anglia. Rosemary became a Second World War artist,
depicting the war at home and abroad, and later a renowned designer of
stained-glass windows.
I explored her life and work and discussed the Rutherford Project, which has
conserved Rosemary’s artworks at Broomfield Church in Essex.
The talk was part of the Shifting Perspectives: Exploring Art Together exhibition at the Museum of Chelmsford in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Society and in association with Essex Book Festival.
Rosemary Rutherford: life and works of an extraordinary artist, edited by Naomi Courtenay-Luck with contributions from Ian Mercer, Ros Mercer, Catherine Pearson and Kathy Rouse can be ordered from Broomfield Church. - CP
