Helen Elizabeth Overbury FOX
Born in Remuera, New Zealand, the only daughter of the Rev Arthur Stewart Fox, the artist was educated at Lausanne University, Switzerland and served as a nurse during WWI. She was a friend of the artist Helen SEDDON, and exhibited with her at a St Ives Show Day in 1923 from Crab Rock Studio, The Warren.
She lived for many years in Bath, and was considered to be a prolific and talented artist. In 1950 she married Sydney James Lewis. Some years after her death (unspecified date) the Meltone Gallery in Bath mounted a posthumous show of her studio remains.
