Dorothy M. Dixon, 1929 - 2019
With sadness we note the passing of our fellow artist, Dorothy (Dottie) Dixon. A long-standing member of the Georgetown County Watercolor Society, Dottie was a prolific watercolorist. She was a member of the Georgetown Art Gallery and displayed her artistic talent over the years in various local and regional art venues. Those who knew her well spoke to her upbeat and positive personality and how these charastics were reflected in her work. As well, Dottie was a generous artist, often donating her charming Folk Art paintings to local charity auctions.
