Biography

Anderson was born in Chingford near London, to Alfred William Anderson, a church minister, and Agnes Anderson, both of who were from Ireland.[1] Kay Anderson was raised in Kent, then in Newport in south Wales and later in Liverpool.[1] She studied art at the Liverpool School of Art and at the Royal College of Art in London, receiving her teaching diploma in 1927.[2][3]

Anderson painted various subjects and topics in both oils and watercolours and also produced etchings, engravings and lithographs.[1] Anderson exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, with the New English Art Club and at the Paris Salon in France and also showed paintings in Chicago and in Canada.[1][2][3] Anderson married the artist Thomas Collingwood Clough in 1933 and the couple lived in Surrey, where she died in 1974.[2] The British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hold examples of her work as does the Christchurch Art Gallery in New Zealand.[4][5]
