Tirzah (Ravilious) Garwood(1908 – 1951)
Garwood was born in Gillingham, Kent and became the wife and artistic partner of Eric Ravilious.
Her name "Tirzah" was bestowed by her siblings, a reference to Tirzah in the Book of Numbers in the Bible.
She studied art at Eastbourne School of Art from 1925, under Reeves Fawkes, Oliver Senior and, as a wood engraver, Eric Ravilious. She later studied at the Central School of Art.
One of Garwood's early woodcuts, shown at the Society of Wood Engravers' annual exhibition in 1927, was praised in The Times. She undertook commissions for the Kynoch Press and for the BBC, for whom she produced a new rendering of their coat-of-arms. In 1928 Garwood illustrated Granville Bantock's oratorio The Pilgrim's Progress, which he wrote as a BBC commission.
Garwood married Eric Ravilious in 1930 taking up residence in Hammersmith, West London, where there is a blue plaque on the wall of their house at the corner of Upper Mal
