Gill Dodington
Gill Dodington, born in 1941 in Cape Town, is a passionate artist residing in George, Western Cape. Her love for art began at the age of 7, inspired by watching George Pilkington paint in his studio near False Bay. Over the years, she pursued her artistic journey, studying figure drawing in Paris in 1959 and attending graphics classes at the Ruth Prowse Art Centre in the 1960s.
Before delving into watercolour painting 11 years ago, Gill engaged in various artistic endeavours, designing and painting scarves on silk and exploring different crafts. She particularly enjoys the free flow of water paint and working with pen and ink. Gill aspires to return to etching and woodcuts in the future.
Her art was exhibited at the Chameleon Gallery in Kalk Bay and has been featured in group exhibitions across the Garden Route, Johannesburg, and Limpopo. Her works have garnered admiration from both South Africans and visitors from Europe, the UK, Americas, and Australia. Some of her paintings have received recognition and acceptance from the Watercolour Society and others earned prizes at SCAVA competitions.
