Nora grew up with a passion for art. Her parents allowed her to convert the upstairs nursery of their Surrey home into her first art studio. She enrolled in Leon Underwood’s prestigious London art school, then continued her training at the Kingston School of Art and the Royal College of Art where she received a diploma in design in 1932. During these eight years of specialized training, she explored several mediums including: book illustration, pottery, wood carving, embroidery, bookbinding, mural decoration, engraving, etching, and architecture.
She is best known for her work in book illustration and wood carving. Her first commission for an illustration came at the age of eighteen. While at the Royal Academy two of her wood engravings were selected for display at the British Museum. After graduating, she began to teach part-time and illustrate children’s books. She credits a wartime job working with children and living in a rural setting as influential in her book illustrations. Her interest in children’s literature was also enhanced by her friendship with Elizabeth Yates, whom she met in London in 1937 and worked with on many book projects.
