The English painter and engraver Colin Sealy (1891-1964) was born in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and spent part of his early life in Ceylon. After studying at the Royal Academy Schools in the early 1920s, Sealy taught life drawing at the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts. His work was influenced by Cubism and abstraction, and he was a member of the Seven and Five Society from 1924 to 1927. From the mid-1910s to the mid-1950s, he was married to the painter Doris Vaughan (1894-1975), a notable Colourist and follower of Christopher Wood. The couple had a studio in St. Ives, Cornwall, and later in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. In 1977, Belgrave Gallery held a joint exhibition of the paintings of Sealy and Vaughan. See:
