The estimated in-house shipping to a UK mainland address is available from £20From the estate of Esme Beecroft. Esme was a lifelong friend of the Whickers and was painted as a child by Gwen. She was featured in several of her paintings as a young woman. She also supported the Whickers by buying their paintings and was the executor of their estates. Gwen Whicker (1900-1966) was born in Bristol. She studied at the Bristol Municipal School of Art, against her parents wishes. There she met the Australian born artist Frederick Whicker, whom she later married. They jointly exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy from 1923 to circa 1935, but Gwen was never elected an associate member, though she was a founding member of the New Bristol Art Club and was the first President. The Whickers moved from their home in All Saints Road, Clifton, Bristol just after the war to Woodlane in Falmouth, Cornwall. There Gwen and Fred became members of the St Ives Society of Artists, where they became secretary and treasurer respectively. They exhibited until their deaths. Gwen produced etchings, paintings, drawings, sculpture, jewellery and silver wares. Much of her silver has not been traced as it was sent to Fred`s sister in Canada on her death. A retrospective exhibition of their work was held at the Falmouth Art Gallery in 1994, where fourteen pieces of Gwen`s silver were loaned from private collections.
