Pat Douthwaite
Kimono & Tiny Cat
1987
Lithograph
570 X 770mm
Edition of 20

Recognised as the most complex of processes, these lithographs were made by the artist drawing directly onto a stone with a greasy crayon and wash. Born in Glasgow in 1939, 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. Her imagery is often disturbing: “I deal in anger, joy, rage and happiness.” She exhibited her work widely through galleries in Edinburgh, London and New York. Pat Douthwaite died in July 2002 at Broughty Ferry.
