Dorothy Bruce is a painter based in Exmouth, England. She was born in Northern Ireland in 1933, and has lived in Exmouth for over 50 years. Initially trained as an artist in 1950s Belfast, the majority of her paintings are painted after her sixties when her late husband, also an artist, died in 1994.
In this essay from 2019, Dorothy vividly recounts her life story—her journey of becoming a Baha’i while she was an art student in the late 1950s, travelling with her late husband In the 80s and 90s, and her later experiences in Australia and England.
Dorothy’s paintings, primarily in oils and watercolor, reflect her openness and curiosity to the cultural and spiritual richness of the world.’
