Dorothy Ramsay is a celebrated Cumbrian artist whose vibrant career spans over seven decades.
Now in her 80s, Dorothy lives and works near Keswick, drawing inspiration from the west coast and the dramatic landscapes around Blencathra. Trained in etching at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, her practice includes painting, printmaking, and weaving – blending abstraction and realism in a distinctive, light-filled style.
