Thelma Hulbert

Thelma Hulbert (1913-1995) studied at Bath School of Art before moving to London in the early 1930s. She became part of the influential Euston Road School of painters alongside Victor Pasmore, William Coldstream and Claude Rogers.
After the war, Thelma Hulbert taught at Camden School for Girls and later at the the Central School of Arts and Crafts until retirement in the early 1980s. She moved to Honiton where she continued to draw and paint until her death. Throughout her life, the subjects of her paintings were still life, domestic interiors, and landscapes, many of which included the Cornish coast. During her lifetime, Thelma Hulbert was represented in twenty-three exhibitions, eight of which were solo shows. The most prestigious of her exhibitions was her one-woman show at the Whitechapel Gallery in London in 1962.
Examples of her work are to be found in both public and private art collections worldwide and she has been featured on radio and television. Following her death, the Tate Gallery acquired two of Thelma Hulbert’s works for their collection and featured her in the Tate Women Artists book by Alicia Foster.
