Nora Cundell

Nora Cundell was a student at Blackheath School of Art from 1904 to 1910. She lived with her parents next door to the Blackheath Halls at 37 Lee Road (?). She was recognised as a student with great potential, later studying under Sickert and also at the Slade. Cundell travelled to Arizona numerous times between 1920 and 1948 (when she died) later publishing, Unsentimental Journey an amalgam of her trips, in 1940. She felt so at home in the Marble Canyon surrounds she specified that her ashes would be scattered in the area.
