}}Sylvia Grace Siddell, Lady Siddell {{post-nominals|country=NZL|ONZM|size=85%}} (1941 – 26 August 2011) was a New Zealand painter, etcher, and screen-printer, based in Auckland.[1]

Education

Siddell attended the Avondale College (Art teacher: R.N.Field), Auckland Post Primary Teacher's College (1964–65), Auckland University Summer School (1967, tutored by Colin McCahon), night classes at the Auckland Society of Arts (1970, tutored by Louise Henderson), and night classes at the Auckland Technical Institute (1975–76).[2]

Career

Drawing on the tradition of the European vanitas, or allegorical still life, Siddell's work often depicts inanimate, familiar, and ordinary objects, giving them a sense of vibrancy and reflects on the joys, sorrows, struggles, and frustrations of daily existence.[2][3] Examples of this include her still life paintings, Fire and Water (2002) and Out of the Frying Pan (2007). Her exhibition Couches, at the Artis Gallery in 2005, is another example of how she instilled life and character into ordinary domestic objects, animating them with a sense of personality.[4]

Exhibitions

From 1975 onward Siddell exhibited regularly throughout New Zealand and her work is held in private and public collections, both in New Zealand and internationally.[2] Notable exhibitions at the Artis Gallery include Fragments of Life (2000),[5] A Rich Life (1998),[6] and Couches (2005).[4]

In 1994 she took part in the exhibition Unruly Practices at Auckland Art Gallery. The project was a series of solo projects by feminist artists living in Auckland, including work by Carole Shepherd, Claudia Pond Eyley, Mary McIntyre, Christine Hellyar.[2]

Awards and appointments

In 1983 Siddell was award the Queen Elizabeth II Arts Council Grant to study printmaking and develop etching, lithography and hand painted screen printing techniques.[7]

In the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours, Siddell was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in recognition of services to painting.[8]

Personal life

In 1960, she married fellow artist Peter Siddell, and had two daughters, Avril and Emily (also an artist).
