She exhibited her work with the Island Arts and Crafts Society from 1918 to 1921, and with the B.C. Society of Fine Arts in September 1921 and September 1922.

B.C. Vital Statistics on-line provides the information that Bide Nora R. Southwell died on June 10 1981 at age 82, at an unknown location. This is presumably Nora Raine Southwell, although not a positive identification.

"There is something of Gainsborough and something of Lawrence in
"Lloyd, Son of F.R. Begg," by Miss Nora Raine
Southwell. There is beauty and softness and a fine expression of the
dreamy thoughtfulness and wonderful seriousness of childhood that places
it among the finer and more considered works of the exhibition."
From "Pictures at B.C. Fine Arts" by J. Butterfield
Vancouver Province, September 19 1921, page 12
"Another portrait painter who exhibited was Nora Raine Southwell,
a rising young artist of considerable ability whose talent was seen at the
Westminster Fair in her portrait of Sir Arthur Currie,
a picture which might, without fear of criticism, be acquired by the city
of Victoria or by the government."
From "By the Way in Art" per B.C. Art League

"A portrait of Mrs. David Spencer by Miss Nora Southwell
is an expression of the temperament of the artist as well as a likeness of the sitter.
The hair is beautifully painted powdered ivory in color, silk in texture. Gray-blue
kindly eyes and slightly smiling lips."
