Alice Lindley-Millican facts for kids

Alice Lindley-Millican (1885–1930) was a British sculptor known for her figurative works.

Personal life

In early 1917, during the First World War, Alice Lindley married Albert Millican in Stockport, Cheshire.

In 1915 and 1919 Lindley-Millican's address was recorded as 'The Lilacs' in Mottram-in-Longendale, Manchester. She later moved to London and in 1922 was listed by the Royal Academy at 3 Holbein Studios, 52 Redcliffe Road in South Kensington. This property was particularly suitable as there was a studio in the roof space, converted during the 1920s. It was occupied by the artists Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious during the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1927 Lindley-Millican was contactable through the Three Arts Club, 19a Marylebone Road, London.

Alice Lindley-Millican died in November 1930.

In 1926 she exhibited her sculpture Energy at Manchester Art Gallery as part of the Exhibition of Work by Manchester Artists. Lindley-Millican exhibited with the Royal West of England Academy in 1927–1928.

Lindley-Millican was a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors from 1928 until her death.
