But "Now and Then" is also a celebration of Dorothy's many years of leadership and dedicated work in the local arts community. She began painting with the Nanaimo Art Group (now known as the Nanaimo Group of Artists) in the 1960's, later becoming president. She became the NGA's representative to the Arts Council which led to organizing the annual Autumn Showcase at the Madrona Centre at Malaspina College. She was one of the founding members of the Art 10 Gallery in 1983 and also founding member of the Nanaimo Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists in 1989. Still active in all these groups, she holds many service and lifetime membership awards for her work, from being president or board member to organizing the many exhibitions held by these art associations.

Through her art, Dorothy has recorded local farms and orchards, beaches, parks and flowers with skill and enthusiasm, sometimes with 6 paintings on the go at once. And for this she has also received countless awards and prizes at juried shows for her beautiful paintings. "Now and Then" will be on display at Art 10 Gallery in the Nanaimo North Town Centre through the month of December. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, December 10th from 1 to 3 p.m.
