Personal Life
While a student at art college Palmer met the young Ellis Leach-Moore, like him a native of Portsmouth. Her study encompassed jewellery making and silversmithing. They were married on July 11, 1959. Ellis Palmer's distinct, unique conceptions, frequently using the bones of monkfish, reached their apogee in what she termed "brooch-sculptures"; in all their art are traces and echoes of one another's work. They had three daughters. In 1998, Ellis Palmer died of breast cancer.
