DOLLY DHILLON
Nature is always great in design. She is an admirable colorist that harmonizes tints with infinite variety and beauty.” (Gilpin, Observations on the River Wye 1789)
The work of Dolly Dhillon (Dawinder Kaur Dhillon) tells the story of most creative Indian women of the 1970s and 80s, since they were so engaged with their family that they hardly got the ‘self-sanctioned’ time required for concentrating on their art. It is only after her children were following their higher education that Dolly enrolled to do her bachelors and masters in fine arts at Vishakhapatnam (Vizag), with of course, the support of her family
