Nora Drummond, also known as Nora Drummond-Davies, was an English, and later Canadian, artist and illustrator, whose work typically featured dogs and country pursuits.
Background
Nora Georgina Drummond was born in Bath, Somerset, England in 1862, the second of fourteen children of John Joseph Drummond (1832/3-1898) and Elizabeth Hardy (b 1840). She was a member of an artistic family, her father being a former Master of the Bath School of Art and Design and an art tutor to the Royal Family, and her mother the daughter of the artist James Hardy (1801-1879).
Career
Another uncle, Hayward (or Heywood) Hardy (1842-1933) was also an artist, specialising in animals and landscapes. In 1893 Drummond married Daniel Joseph F. Davies (1870-1948) and shortly after the turn of the century the couple emigrated to Canada, where at least three of Drummond’s siblings joined them.
