Nothing is known of his early years but studied at the Brisbane Technical College under Godfrey Rivers where he achieved his diploma by passing at a high level in Freehand, Model and Life Drawing, Design and Perspective. Cadell exhibited drawings at the BTC section at the Queensland National Association in 1902-03 and 1907 and continued his studies with life drawing at the Queensland Art Society classes. Once, during his employment with the Department of Mines where he was a draftsman, he studied at the Julian Ashton School, Sydney. He exhibited frequently at the Queensland Art Society 1901-10 and 1915-16 as well as designing the 1907 annual exhibition catalogue cover. He was closely associated with William and Gwendolyn Grant (q.v.) and the ‘Wog’ artists.\u003cbr\u003eHe served with the 2nd AGH Australian Military Forces during World War One (a sketch book is in the collection of the Australian War Memorial) and while in London studied at John Hassel’s Art School and was especially attracted to the ceramics in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. He also studied with Max Meldrum in Melbourne on his return from active service and some of his identified paintings reflect his tonalist influence. He produced pottery in Brisbane c.1920-22 reflecting the great upsurge of interest in pottery here and some of his work was available through the Sheldon Gallery in the latter year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe inspiration of primitive art and that of the Omega Studio in his pieces is distinctly different to the Harvey School. His death in 1923 as a result of war injuries cut short a most interesting development. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRepresented: QAGOMA: Planter, slab built with green glaze, 1922; Jug, slab built with incised motif, green glaze, 1922; Incense burner, slab built with brown glaze, 1923.
