History
Gertrude Hayes was born in London on the 23rd of November 1872. She was educated at the Royal College of Art. During the course of her artistic career she exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy, and some of her works now reside in permanent collections across various museums including South Kensington, Liverpool and Los Angeles. She was a member of the Coventry and Warwickshire Society of Artists, and also spent a four year stint as Assistant Art Mistress of Rugby School from 1915-1919.
Hayes married twice, first to Alfred Kedington Moran, the Art Master of Rugby School. After his death in 1928, she remarried Edwin M. Betts, a former Art Master at Nottingham High School. She enjoyed travelling, motoring, and gardening, and died in 1956.
