Description | Pamela Drew, Lady Rathdonnell |
Details |
Pamela Drew (1910-1989). The daughter of a Lancashire cotton printer, she studied art in London before marrying an Irish peer, Lord Rathdonnell in 1937. They lived in Ireland until the Second World War, when Pamela joined the WRNS, working with the RAF Coastal Command in Plymouth. This led to her painting numerous works on an aviation theme and eventually, in 1955, the British Air Ministry granted her the status of war artist. Lord Rathdonnell died unexpectedly in 1959 and she later re-married.
