Anne McEntegart

The artist Anne McEntegart (nee Patmore) was born in Edinburgh in 1905. She studied book illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, and carried out advertising work in London. After the death of her son in 1954 Anne moved Paris where she illustrated a series of Readers. She continued to paint in oil and watercolour, worked in pastel, and learnt to make engravings. She travelled extensively in Europe, painting and fulfilling a number of commercial commissions. She always came back to her home near Dunscore and in 1965, returned there permanently. A selection of her artwork is now in Dumfries Museum. In 1979 Anne moved to Appleby-in-Westmorland. She continued to paint and started sculpting again. She died in 1984.
