95 years old (Born on February 03, 1930)
Happy Birthday, Gillian Ayres! May your day be as vibrant and colorful as "Anthony and Cleopatra"—though hopefully with fewer dramatic twists. Your masterpieces have brightened galleries worldwide; rumor has it even Shakespeare himself would applaud the brilliance of your 1990 painting, "A Midsummer Night."Congratulations also on being appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2011—a title almost long enough to match one of your expansive canvases! Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps a little less paint splatter (or maybe more?). Keep inspiring us all—you truly are timelessly fabulous!
