The Artistry of Averil Burleigh
Averil Mary Burleigh was a British painter and illustrator born in Hassocks, West Sussex. She studied at the Brighton School of Art and lived and worked in Hove and Sussex alongside her husband, the painter Charles Burleigh. Her artistic practice was characterized by a specialization in egg tempera, though she also utilized chalk and watercolour to express her vision. Her works often featured a bright color palette with contrasting tones designed to lead the viewer's eye through the composition, often centered around a prominent female figure. Many of these figures were modeled after her daughter, Veronica Burleigh.
