RANDELL, Dorothy

Born:

Artist


Dorothy Randell better known to her many friends as "Dimmie" was born in and brought up in East London. She went to Rhodes in 1929 and was the first person to be awarded a Bachelor of Fine Art (B.F.A.) conferred by the University College.

She designed and decorated the facade of the old Wool warehouse for Boere Saamwerk Bpk; sculpted heads of her distinguished peers like Guy Butler and Basil Kenyon; created ceramic works, both decorative and functional; produced charming watercolours - often as very personal gifts - pen and ink drawings for anniversary cards, book illustrations, as well as personalised stationery for parish bazaars.
