Now 89, she still paints every day, having converted her garage into a studio. Her eyesight is not as good as it once was, so she prefers to paint in black Indian ink: ‘I love that graphic outline, which is something I picked up from Picasso.’ She recently had an exhibition at the Penwith Gallery in St Ives, and has just selected paintings for a forthcoming show at the Kunsthalle Messmer in Germany, which also features Niki de Saint Phalle and Elvira Bach.
She is eternally grateful to Picasso. ‘I was very lucky to sit in his presence,’ she says. ‘He gave me my life, and I shall forever be thankful.’
