Maggi Hambling (born 1945) is a painter and sculptor. She is noted for her statue of Oscar Wilde in central London and Scallop, a 4 metre high steel sculpture on Aldeburgh beach dedicated to Benjamin Britten. She was born in Sudbury, and educated at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing, Ipswich School of Art, Camberwell and the Slade School of Art.
In 1980 Hambling became the first Artist in Residence at the National Gallery, London. Her work includes portraits and a series of North Sea paintings.
Hambling is openly "lesbionic" (her adjective).[1]
In 1995 she was awarded an OBE for her services to painting, followed by a CBE in 2010.
