LOPDELL PRECINCT
Doris Baertschi - Upward Spiral
For decades her love affair with art was secret, she painted while her family slept. In 2015, her first exhibition The Secret Life of Doris Baertschi, was an overwhelming success. Now, 88 year old Doris admits that art is the love of her life – she paints prolifically and obsessively, her vibrant modernist works tell stories, heal pains and illustrate dreams.
