Ethel Angell (b. Abbots Ripton, 22 July 1889 - d. Coventry, 31 January 1972) was an English flower and landscape artist[1] and teacher.[2] She had paintings accepted into the 1931 and 1946 Royal Academy of Arts exhibition.[3]
Ethel was the oldest of five children born to Eliza and Thomas Angell, a coach trimmer. She taught at Ansley School and lived at Ansley Common Warwickshire. [4] She was living at Hartshill when she died in 1972.[5]
Angell studied painting in Bath, Somerset with Alfred Jones (1851-1928) and then with John Anthony Park, ROI, RBA (1880-1962) at the Nuneaton Art School.[6]
In 1931 she had a painting Zinnias,[7] painted while on holiday in Brittany, accepted into the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) exhibition. It was the first time she had submitted her work to be considered.[8] Of her success she said, “I consider myself very lucky, considering the thousands sent from all parts of the world by artists who do nothing else.”[9] She had a subsequent painting, The Harbour at High Tide,[10] accepted for the 1946 RA exhibition.[11]
She exhibited with the Coventry and Warwickshire Society of Artists (CWSA) in 1930[12] and 1931.[13] She had four paintings, including At Midday and Leafy Warwickshire in the Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery in 1947.[14] She also exhibited with the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI).[15]
