Beryl attended Westminster Art School where Randolph Schwabe was an instructor. Schwabe was appointed the director of the Slade School in 1930. Dundas’s dealer was Basil Burdett of the Macquarie Galleries in Sydney. Schwabe was very good friends with Burdett, and he held a one man exhibition at Macquarie Gallery in the 1930s.
