Biography

Said was born in Hook in Hampshire and was educated at Queen's College in central London from 1925 to 1930. During the 1930s she studied art in Paris, occasionally taking lessons from Amédée Ozenfant which she paid for by designing and selling fabrics. In 1941 Said moved to Egypt where she taught art to a group of students with her husband Hamed Said. This resulted in two group exhibitions held in Cairo in 1948 and 1955. Similar exhibitions were held in England hosted by the Arts Council during 1949 and in 1952 at the Islamic Cultural Centre in London. Later works by Said were included in a joint English and Egyptian limited edition book, The Word and The Image. Said returned to England in 1955 and had a solo exhibition at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1957 and also showed works at the New Art Centre. In 1960 she moved to Wiltshire and there, among other works, she produced the drawing Jo's Wild Wood which is now in the Tate collection.
Said's early works were signed Anne Cobham and her daughter is the artist Safaya Salter.

About Sulis Fine Art

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan.

Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers.

We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love.

Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way.
