Ruby Reynolds-Lewis (13 November 1881 – 13 December 1964) was an Australian composer. Her work, "Foxhunt",[1] was entered in the music event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[2] She was the only Australian artist to compete in the Olympic arts competitions held from 1912 to 1948.[3]
Reynolds-Lewis dedicated her 1919 composition, "Cradle Song", to artist and musician George Hyde Pownall. Although named a "song", it was described as a piano solo and no words were published.[4]
