Biography

Rathmell was born in Liverpool and attended Liverpool College of Art from 1929 to 1933 and returned to education when she studied dress design at Cardiff College of Art between 1957 and 1959.[1][2] Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Rathmell was a lecturer in both fine art and dress design at Newport College of Art and was also a costume designer with the Monmouthshire Youth Theatre.[1][2]

As an artist, Rathmell produced paintings and fabric compositions.[1] She was a member of both the Watercolour Society of Wales and the Welsh Group, taking part in group exhibitions with each, notably the 1983 touring exhibition, Wales 83.[1] A solo exhibition of Rathmel's work was held in 1981 at the Playhouse Gallery in London.[2] She had a number of joint exhibitions with her family members, Thomas Rathmell (1912-1990) and Elizabeth Rathmell (1942-1994) including Three Painters in 1982 and The Rathmell Vision: People and Places which was hosted by the Taliesin Arts Centre in Swansea during 1991.[1] Examples of Rathmell's work are held by the Arts Council of Wales, the University of South Wales and Newport Museum and Art Gallery.[1][2]

gollark: I mean, I guess it might be a net gain since you're seemingly just selling to "the market" instead of other players?
gollark: The only way to make money is to post or hope that other people will be silly and invest?
gollark: Which was kind of the case before - my autoinvestor bot was extremely successful just investing in any post with a large number of investments.
gollark: Honestly I think it's kind of stupid even with lots of players, since the only thing which has any impact on how much you get is how many other people wildly jump on the bandwagon.
gollark: That seems... bad.
