| The City, by Olga Moscow, oil on canvas |
Originally a ballet dancer, Olga trained at the Nottingham College of Art after serving as a WAAF during the second world war. She taught art in Nottingham and Coventry. She has lived in Leeds for more than forty years. She has been an enthusiastic supporter and participant at the Swarthmore arts and education centre, where she took up creative writing after failing eyesight forced her to stop painting. Her work has been exhibited in Leeds and in Paris.
This picture was painted in the 1990's. It was used by her son Robert Evans, architect and director of ArchiFACT Ltd., for the cover of his book, Well Built? A Forensic Approach to the Prevention, Diagnosis and Cure of Building Defects, published by the Royal Institute of British Architects. The book is available through construction publications provider www.blissbooks.co.uk (and other online retailers).
