ARTIST BIO: Doris grew up with artistic desires and opportunities in the form of music.  For her motherhood and home making days she loved to decorate each home and sewing project with an artistic touch.  

When she was in her early 50s, she had the opportunity to take valuable watercolour lessons with Didsbury artist Elsie Archer.  She became familiar with acrylics and composition and fell in love with chalk pastels during her years in the Olds Art Club.  At present she is getting together with a small group of ladies weekly to paint together for an afternoon.  She has shown and sold her work at the Olds Art Club spring and fall art shows and at the Olds Museum.  

Doris has been an avid gardener, florist and piano teacher/accompanist, and now enjoys every moment she can find to be an artist in watercolour, pastels and acrylics.  By staying at the Buttermaker’s House, she is cherishing the occasion to devote her time to her painting, in a beautiful, inspiring atmosphere and as she shares her art she hopes to pass on her enjoyment to others.
