Dorr Bothwell and the African Sketchbook Online Exhibition

The Mendocino Art Center presents “Dorr Bothwell and the African Sketchbook,” an exclusive sale of the Mendocino heritage artist’s original works, February 5 through March 31. This online fundraising exhibition features works inspired by Bothwell’s African travels in 1966 and 1967, and also offers a rare viewing of her “African Sketchbook” with artwork she created during her several months stay in Nigeria and her subsequent trip crossing the Sahara to Tunisia. The sketchbook was edited and published by Monica Hannasch in 2000 as a posthumous tribute to her long-time friend. Bothwell was an early artist and instructor of the Mendocino Art Center, teaching for more than 40 years. For this limited time, all Dorr Bothwell artwork is priced 10% off with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Mendocino Art Center. The Mendocino Art Center remains open online for art classes, exhibitions, events and the gallery store, but is currently closed to in-person.
