The Entertainment, Show Day
Rita Grieg was born in Norwich, Norfolk and trained as a designer in London after which she taught art. She now lives in South Devon with husband and artist Donald Greig.

Working mainly in oils, her paintings are usually small in size, depicting landscapes, still life and interiors as well as figures at village shows and carnivals. The painting in the RWA collection depicts a particulalrly lively narrative in its illustration of a puppetry show at such a rural event.

She was awarded the Medaille D'argent, Paris Salon and is a member of the Royal West of England Academy, the New English Art Club and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. She has exhibited at the Royal Academy, Galerie George, NEAC Centenary Exhibition, Patterson Fine Arts, Alpine Gallery, and Mall Galleries. In addition to The Royal West of England Permanent Collection she has work in the Chase Manhattan Bank Collection.
