Edinburgh College of Art 1981 ‚ 85. Post graduate diploma 1985 ‚ 86.

Dorothy has participated in many group and solo exhibitions within the UK and America, and has gained a wide reputation for her work. Dorothyís work is characterised by strong draughtsmanship and powerful imagery. Concentrating in the main on the female figure, she breathes life into these, animating them in a series of striking poses and gestures.
"There is a disarming honesty as well as formidable toughness about the work of Dorothy Black that marks her as the true artist."
Scotsman.

Dorothy Black...the arrival of a significant talent...a fragment of face sometimes adds literal emphasis, the sensuous lines of the female neck are seldom realised with such authority...she is a one off worth watching.
