Biography
Pip Waldron (b. Birmingham, UK 1912 - d. 1973) studied at Birmingham School of Art under Eric Malthouse (1914-1997). From around 1934, Waldron stayed at the artists’ colony on Sark, in the Channel Islands at the same time as Guy Mallet, and they both exhibited prints, particularlt linocuts, at the newly-built Drake's Art Gallery that acted as the centre for the artists on the island. They were joined by frequent guests on the island, Sybil and Cyril Andrews and other artists on the island included Medora Heather, Stanley Royal, C. T. Fay and George Elmslie Owen. Mervyn Peake's eponymous character in his novel Mr Pye (1953) was said to have been based on Waldron.
