I would like to bring to your attention that Mrs. Gill maybe incorrectly identified in the Whipps Cross hospital staff photo. I believe she is actually the young lady seated on the ground, 2nd from the right. If you compare later pictures you will notice that her brows and the length of her prominent nose ridge as well as her hairline remain almost unchanged. This is typical of the aging process.
I have quite a bit of experience in the field of genealogy and photo identification. I hope this is helpful and congratulations on refocusing attention on this wonderful artist.

Her style reminds me of Gustav Klimt. I look forward to hearing of any further developments.

It’s a distressing common theme in Outsider Art — a lifetime of artistic output comes “this close” to being discarded, scattered and overlooked.

Thanks for shining a light, as ever.
I felt great optimism reading this post today — I think you’re in the early stages of a remarkable
discovery. Please keep us informed and uplifted.

Her work and her life deserve much greater exposure. Thank you for this post. I hope it yields responses that reveal more about her artistic life. For those of us who won’t be able to attend any exhibitions or view the mural, please post an update about this effort when it’s nearer completion.
