Painter, born in Suffolk, who studied at Camberwell School of Art, then gained her master’s degree at the Royal College of Art in 1988. An intensely private person, she declined interviews and was reported to have hesitated before agreeing to a nomination for the Turner Prize shortlist in 2005. Her work included small still life, landscape and portrait paintings, in which quite a lot of impasto could be used. In 2003 several of her pictures, including views of her own backside, appeared in the group show Days Like These at Tate Britain. Carnegie was represented by Cabinet and lived in north London.
