Arts Richmond announce the return of Diana Armfield Drawing from Observation competition.

Diana Armfield RA NEAC (Royal Academician and New English Art Club) studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and Central School of Arts and Crafts.

She was Artist in Residence in Perth, Australia in 1985 and in Jackson, Wyoming, USA in 1989 where she was elected to the RA the same year.

Later Armfield moved to Kew where she lived for many years with her late husband Bernard Dunstan RA, who both had their studios in their family home.

Despite turning 104-year-old this year, Armfield is still an active artist.

She said: "All professionals, amateurs and even those who say 'I can't draw a line' are welcome to submit their drawings!"

The prize for Diana Armfield Drawing from Observation by Arts Richmond is in memory of her husband Dunstan.
