		Artist Nora Heysen - often referred to as her father's daughter but a painter of renown in her own right - has died at the age of 92, leaving a body of work that spans many countries and many styles.

		Heysen's talent has been recognised a number of times other than the Archibald win - she received the Australia Council's Award for Achievement in the Arts in 1993 and was awarded an Order of Australia in 1998.

		The two rooms of her studio form part of the complex of buildings and land at The Cedars, Heysen’s family home from his purchase of it in 1912 until his death in 1968; the property, a kilometre or two out of Hahndorf, now belongs to the third Heysen generation.
		The house itself was complex in design to start with and became progressively more so in the wake of the Heysens’ extensions as their family grew; it is large, airy, intriguing, and densely furnished with the paraphernalia of a large, lively family with a feel for beauty.
		Heysen’s work hangs in every room, including a large still-life with a story attached: Anna Pavlova, visiting with the Russian Ballet, saw Zinnias with Autumn Fruit hanging in The Cedars and offered Heysen a blank cheque for it.
