her work was 1930's onwards last known painting dated 1963 that he bought,she died in 1966 in Co Mayo Ireland.Her husband brought them to England and they were sold after his death in 1990's trying to find the other paintings to compare.

Try this site. It's a couple of years ago, but might be helpful.

Hi

This is a long shot but is there anyone on here that purchased some paintings from an Art dealers shop in Ludlow Shropshire in mid 1990's. They were watercolours by an artist called CATHERINE CHAMNEY or COLWILL as this was her married name. I know there was at least 4 ladies who bought a lot of her work some 20 plus paintings from the same dealer, they were in sold in Auction of her late husbands effects.

Thanks
