== Life ==
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).〔Source: UK censuses and parish records〕 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). Her maternal uncle, James Hardy junior (1832-1889) was a painter of rustic landscapes and hunting scenes, who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and the British Institution.〔http://www.burlington.co.uk/artist-biography/james-hardy-jr.html〕 Another uncle, Hayward (or Heywood) Hardy (1842-1933) was also an artist, specialising in animals and landscapes.〔http://www.allartclassic.com/author_biography.php?p_number=161〕 Her great-uncle George Frederick Hardy (b. 1796) was a court musician to King William IV and Queen Victoria and two of his sons, George Hardy (1822-1909) and Frederick Daniel Hardy (1827-1911) were artists and members of the Cranbrook Colony.〔http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/collections/browse_collections/art/cranbrook/index.html?sid=\\\\\\〕
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. For some years they lived in Alberta, where Nora Drummond-Davies, as she had become known, provided private lessons in painting and illustration to Peter Whyte, who later, with his wife, (see Peter and Catharine Whyte) became the inspiration for The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alberta.〔http://www.where.ca/canadianrockies/article_feature.cfm?listing_id=40〕
