Working at the London College of Printing, (together with Francis Carr, whom she married) Firmin helped pioneer the use of screenprinting as a fine art medium in the late 1940s. They have been credited with producing some of the first screenprints to be made in this country, and for introducing the medium to a number of artists including Eduardo Paolozzi. Firmin took part in numerous group shows and her solo exhibitions include the ICA, 1970; Gardner Art Centre, Sussex University, 1982; and Barbican Centre, 1991. The British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum hold examples of her work. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
