Maud Sumner was born in Johannesburg in 1902 and died in 1957 at the young age of 55. She was educated at Rodean School in Johannesburg. Sumner moved to London in 1939 but returned to South Africa in 1941 where she worked in Johannesburg until 1946. She had sixteen one-man exhibitions and completed numerous portraits and figure-studies. Between 1947 to 1953, her religious feelings deepened and she painted a number of sacred subjects as well as carrying out commissions for Church art. Always intelligent, her work became increasingly emotional in later years. Maud Sumner's paintings are represented in every public collection in South Africa as well as being represented in a number of overseas public collections.Ref. Artvault
