Biography

Lockwood was born in Birmingham in England and would live there for the majority of her life.[1] Lockwood, and her twin sister, studied at the Birmingham School of Art under Bernard Fleetwood-Walker.[2] After graduating from art school, Lockwood undertook commercial work which included some designs for advertising companies. In due course she became head of design at the Cadbury Brothers company.[2] With her sister, Marjorie Sinclair, Lockwood wrote and illustrated a number of children's books.[2] During her artistic career, Lockwood exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, the New English Art Club and with the Royal Society of British Artists.[2] In 1959 Lockwood was elected a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.[3] In 1969 she was elected an associate member of the Royal Watercolour Society and became a full member in 1974.[3]
