Artist
Joan Warburton (1920–1996) was a British painter known for her still life and landscape works. Born in Edinburgh and raised near Colchester, she studied at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing under Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines. Her time at Benton End, the school's location, deeply influenced her artistic focus on horticultural subjects. During World War II, Warburton served in the Women's Royal Naval Service, worked in an arms factory, and volunteered with the Red Cross Ambulance Service. She exhibited at venues including the Royal Academy and the Women's International Art Club, and her work is held in public collections such as those in Derby, Hull, and Rugby.
