Armadale Society of Artists

Dot has belonged to the society since 2002 and has been active on the committee since then, presently she is president and is enjoying being involved with a great group of people.

They have been a great help to her since retiring from a very busy life in business. She has now been able to unlock a passion for art that has been hidden since she left art college (a long time ago!)

On leaving school in England she attended Taunton College of Art, where she studied design and drawing. After getting married and having a family her art took a back seat, she moved to Australia in 1972 and started a business with her husband, art was still on the back seat ! After retiring a few years ago she has been able to unlock her passion for art again, starting with acrylics and pastels. She also enjoys watercolour but her love is mixed media collage, its very exciting!

She says - 'I hope I will never want to stop learning, I feel alive and free when I am painting, I only wish I had the time to have started painting again earlier. My advise to anyone with even the slightest urge to paint and draw is DO IT NOW!'I hope you enjoy looking at our paintings, and know that they are painted with  lots of love.

She has her own website at www.dotmarshall.com and her work can also be seen at all of the Society exhibitions. She has a stundio and conducts workshops at the Art House, 63 Railway Ave., Kelmscott and is usually there to give advice.
