Wendy Paramor b. 12 December 1938

  • Artist (Sculptor),
  • Artist (Painter)
Wendy Paramor was the only woman painter and sculptor to flourish in the hard edge colour field abstractionist Central Street. She died young, of cancer, at a time when this art was out of fashion. More recently her oeuvre has been reassessed and she is now recognised as a significant artist of her time.
