She also enjoyed visiting Edinburgh's Zoological Park, studying, drawing and eventually sculpting animals.

[1] This travel scholarship and tutoring by Navellier was something her fellow Edinburgh College Art alumna, the sculptor Mary Syme Boyd, would also undertake over ten years later between 1929 and 1933.

[7] Originally she shared studios with the Scottish Colourists at the Albert Gallery, 24 Shandwick Place, Edinburgh.

From 1946 onwards she began spending more time in Galloway, taking a second home in Newton Stewart whilst in Edinburgh thereafter only retaining a small basement flat at 7 Randolph Cliff.

In 1950 she left Edinburgh permanently and joined an artists' colony on the Solway Firth, living thereafter at Hillview, Barrhill Road, Kirkcudbright.
