In 1930 Adnams started attending life classes at Derby School of Art. Her extra ordinary facility for drawing was much remarked upon, (one teacher remarking that she 'drew like a man, direct with no rubbing out, quoted by Ray Gosling, Marion Adnams, A Retrospective, Midland Group Gallery 1971).
We are grateful to Daniel A. Simon for his assistance.
