Painter, draughtsman and writer. Born in Tenby, Wales, she studied art at the Pelham School of Art, South Kensington, under Arthur Cope, then at the London School of Art under John Swan, William Nicholson, Frank Brangwyn and George Lambert. She soon became acquainted with Walter Sickert, of whom she painted an excellent portrait, and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, who sculpted her. Began to exhibit, in the Albert Hall, at the NEAC and LG. Went to Paris, quickly becoming a member of the bohemian set, meeting artists such as Modigliani and Brancusi and working at Marie Wassilieff’s Academy, where Fernand Léger taught. She went on to exhibit at the RA, Leicester Galleries, Redfern Gallery, Arthur Tooth and Son and the Salon d’Automne, Paris. Her life was recounted in Laughing Torso, 1932, and Is She a Lady?, 1955, discursive but amusing books.
