Nancy Kilgour

[1] The family moved to Sydney before the birth of her brother, cricketer Hugh Davidson, in 1907.

She married fellow student, Jack Noel Kilgour, in March 1931.

The couple sailed to London that year aiming to continue their studies in Europe,[3] while supporting themselves by working in advertising and illustrating.

The Daily Telegraph reviewer noted her "subtle blend of realism and decoration" and her "fine sense of composition",[6] while The Sydney Morning Herald critic commented on her use of "glowing colours" and "a happy patterning in various tones of green".

[9] A retrospective exhibition of her work was held by the Hamer Mathew Galleries, Woollahra in 1985.
