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. More details are available in this BBC interview.
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
