{"title":"Oddie, Mary E. (exh.1830s)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMary E. Oddie is known for still life subjects and in particular her use of impasto to render flower petals with a tactile and expressive realism. There is little readily available biographical information about Oddie. She is said to have exhibited in the 1930s at Royal College of Art, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Cooling \u0026amp; Sons Gallery in London. Recorded as having lived at Uckfield, Sussex, it seems likely that she was Mary Ethel Oddie (née Moxon) who married the pharmacist Major Sidney Oddie in 1913. They had two sons, one of whom, Hugh, attended Lancing College and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, before being killed in action with the RAF in 1943. Mary Ethel Oddie died in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/somersetandwood.com\/collections\/oddie-mary-e-exh-1830s.oembed","provider":"Somerset \u0026 Wood Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
