In 1950, after a year working in the studio of Christos Kapralos, Constance Stubbs still in her early twenties, held her first solo exhibition 'A Year in Greece' at the Anglo-Hellenic Club in Athens. It was received with tremendous enthusiasm by the Greek art world.
'There is a spiritual quality in young Connie's work which is moving and human. Notwithstanding her age, she is something more than a promising flower of English art. She reveals genius …'

Professor Angelos Prokopiou (Kathimerini)

Constance had studied at the Cheltenham School of Art and in 1946 gained a scholarship to the Royal College of Art where she worked under Professor Robin Darwin and tutors including Ruskin Spear, John Minton, Carel Weight and Rodrigo Moynihan.

As well as marrying and bringing up a young family, Constance became senior lecturer at the Coloma Teacher Training College in Kent. In 1964 she successfully competed against leading contemporary artists for the commission to paint a reredos of the 'Fall and the Ascent of Man' in the new chapel at St Mary's Teacher Training College, Strawberry Hill. In 1979 she spent a sabbatical year print-making at Croydon College of Art.

It could be said that Constance Stubbs became an established artist following her move to Pakenham in Suffolk, which afforded her the opportunity to develop and further her diverse talents resulting in her one woman shows around East Anglia and in London. Out of 200 artists selected for the 1982 Hayward Annual Exhibition of British Drawing, her work was singled out by the Guardian's art critic as outstanding.
