History
Dorothy Maud Richardson was born in 1898 and attended The Glasgow School of Art from 1916 to 1919 and possibly also from 1919 to 1921. During this time, she resided in Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, to the north-east of Glasgow. Later she lived at 70 Monreith Road, close to Shawlands. Richardson's tuition throughout this period was subsidised by Lanark Local Authority.
During her three documented years at The School, Richardson attended as a day student of Drawing and Painting, with her occupation being recorded as 'art student.' Early in her academic career, she studied Watercolour under the tutelage of Miss Jessie R. Allan. Later in her studies, she undertook China Pottery, Anatomy and also Needlecraft, the latter subject being taught by the renowned embroideress and author, Miss Ann MacBeth.
Whether Richardson continued her artistic ambitions after her time at The Glasgow School of Art is unknown.
