Pat Douthwaite

1934-2002
Pat Douthwaite

Pat Douthwaite (1934–2002) was one of the most original and uncompromising voices in post-war Scottish art. Born in Glasgow in 1934, she studied mime and modern dance with Margaret Morris, whose husband, J. D. Fergusson, encouraged her to paint. Aside from this formative influence, Douthwaite was entirely self-taught.
