Myriam Burton 1907-1997, Bingley

Myriam Burton 1907-1997

Originally studied at Lancaster College of Art before working freelance. After raising her family and based in Lady Lane, Bingley, Myriam began to gain international recognition. Her work was accepted four years running at the Sociéte des Artistes Français (Paris Salon) for which she was made an associate and later awarded a silver medal by the prestigious society. Other work was exhibited in New York, Cannes, Vichy, Clermont Ferrand and at the Royal Academy and other London Galleries. Despite her remarkable success, Yorkshire galleries remained distinctly cool to her talents.
