Margaret Wells was born in 1909. She studied at the Glasgow
School of Art and then with Leon Underwood. She was primarily
a wood-engraver but also made a number of bold linocuts,
some in colour, and continued working until her death in
1998.
The Fleece Press published Margaret Wells: a selection
of her wood-engravings in 1985 and J.L.Carr published
Margaret Wells' picture book in 1989. Linda Holmes
wrote an article
'Margaret Wells and Leon Underwood', Matrix 14,1994.
Otherwise little of the work of this delightful artist
has been published
or exhibited in public.
Maggie McCune has written a personal memoir of her aunt
and Jeremy Greenwood has written a note on the work and
compiled the catalogue.
76 pages, 355 x 250mm, with 93 illustrations (10 in colour),
