Dorothy's Story
Dorothy Doherty received her art education from Vancouver School of Art (currently Emily Carr University of Art & Design) and Capilano University. She holds an MA in Art History (University of Victoria) and a PDP (Simon Fraser University). She is a life-long resident of British Columbia, Canada, spending the majority of her life in and around Vancouver, BC. She paints at Portside studios in Vancouver, and works with ceramics at the Shadbolt Art Centre in Burnaby, BC.
Dorothy is particularly concerned with the effect that humans have on the natural environment. She has gone from an appreciation of life around us, to one of concern, with the rapid extinction of many life forms on this planet. Her work straddles the line between abstraction and realism. It examines a variety of issues, including urban decay, global issues and the beauty of the world around us – whether in the form of man-made structures or the mysteries of nature.
