Grendel, the ogre in “Beowulf”

Grandma Jenny

Since retiring as a theatre scenery and costume designer, I have sometimes worked hard at painting pictures, and like to think that people can now look at them.

I sold quite a few, mostly of people working in factories and on building sites, but nowadays I am not trying particularly to sell them, being really old and probably having enough money to see me out.

In the past, after a varied designing career, I ended up working a lot for children’s theatre and television. This fitted in rather well with having four of my own. I contributed towards some of the early Dr Who episodes and designed the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon.

[Grandma Jenny, our Mum, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2025 at the age of 96. She had a wonderful life as a designer and artist and always followed what she wanted to do. A life well lived and a wonderful Mum.]
