Tirzah Garwood (1908-1951) has so often been referred to as the wife of Eric Ravilious before anything else. But did you know she was an excellent artist in her own right? Today she is celebrated as a model maker and painter, known for creating witty and surreal vignettes that draw from the home, countryside and fantasy. Find out more about the celebrated artist in our list of fascinating trivia below.
