Madge Gill (born Maude Ethel Eades; 1882–1961) was an English Outsider and visionary artist from Essex.
We believe that our museum has the largest collection of her work on permanent view anywhere in the world – in our Austin Osman Spare room
in 1920, at the age of 38, following the death of two of her children and a long illness, guided by a spirit she called “Myrninerest” (my inner rest) she sat at her kitchen table and produced many thousands of visionary drawings. As American scholar Daniel Wojcik noted, “like other Spiritualists, Gill did not attribute her art to her own abilities, but considered herself to be a physical vessel through which the spirit world could be expressed.”
