Biography

Born in Glasgow 28 July 1939 and died Dundee 26 July 2002. Patricia Douthwaite's works are challenging, colourful and insightful. Douthwaite began to study mime and modern dance with Margaret Morris, whose husband, J. D. Fergusson, encouraged her to paint. This important influence apart, she was self-taught.

In 1958 Pat lived in Suffolk with a group of painters, including the Scots Colquhoun and MacBryde, and William Crozier. From 1959-1988 she travelled widely, to N. Africa, India, Peru, Venezuela, Europe, U.S.A., Kashmir, Nepal, Pakistan, Ecuador and from 1969 lived part of the time in Majorca, more recently in various properties across the Scottish Borders. The female figure was a constant theme in Douthwaite's art.
