Sybil Andrews (1898-1992) was an English-Canadian artist renowned for her modernist linocuts. Born in Bury St Edmunds, England, she initially trained as a welder during World War I before pursuing art. Andrews attended the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London and later became the first secretary of The Grosvenor School of Modern Art, where she studied linocutting under Claude Flight.
Her work is characterized by its dynamic and rhythmic quality, often depicting scenes of urban life, sports, and transportation. Some of her notable prints include “Rush Hour” (1930) and “Concert Hall” (1929). Andrews collaborated with architect Cyril Power, and together they produced a series of sports posters under the joint signature “Andrew Power”.
Throughout her career, Andrews exhibited extensively, particularly between 1928 and 1938. Her works are held in several collections, including the British Museum and the Royal Air Force Museum London
