Thelma Cudlipp

Thelma Somerville Cudlipp (14 October 1891 – 2 April 1983) was an American artist and book illustrator.

[clarification needed][citation needed] Thelma's mother succeeded in breaking up the relationship by sending Thelma to England and by reporting it to the directors of the Butterick Publishing Company, which cost Dreiser his job.

[2] In England, Cudlipp continued her training in art, winning but not accepting a Royal Academy scholarship.

In addition to her own work, she developed an interest in pre-Columbian sculpture, which she collected and promoted through lectures.

[4] In 1933, she was "declared the winner of the popular prize of $25" for her painting, entitled Victorian Place, in the annual exhibition of the Newport Art Association.
