Stella Mary Edwards (nee Harding) was born in Sutton, Surrey. In the 1937, 1938 and 1939 Electoral Registers, she is listed as a school teacher in Surrey. It is believed that she used painting as therapy for children with learning difficulties. In 1939 she married Percy Leonard Craig but they were later divorced.

In 1956 Stella married the painter John EDWARDS. From the 1950s she began exhibiting in both Devon and Cornwall, and remained active as an artist until at least the early 2000s. Under her painting name of Yram ALLETS she is listed as a member of STISA from 1959. Her husband attained membership a year later, while they were living in Pathfinder Village, Devon. During the 1960s she had her own gallery in Exeter, with a studio in Tedburn St Mary, where she taught art to the village children.

The couple moved to St Ives sometime during the 1970s. In 1996 they worked from 'Edwards Studio' which was situated in the High Street, St Ives. Both John and Stella Edwards are listed in the 2004-2005 Electoral Register as residing in Carbis Bay.

The above information was kindly provided in 2024 by a correspondent in the USA, who, while on holiday in St Ives in 1980, bought an original framed oil painting of St Ives Harbour signed 'Allets'.

A correspondent (2018) has been in touch to tell us of an exhibition at Lanhams/Studio 70 in St Ives dating from around 1984. A card in her possession promoting the exhibition is headed 'New Paintings by Allets', described as 'an exhibitor at RI London Guildhall, Society of Graphic Artists'.

A correspondent (2018) has advised us of an oil painting in his possession by this artist, 'Through the Pines' which was purchased in the early 1960s in St Ives for £25.
