Doris McCarthy was an artist, teacher and writer who made an important contribution to Canadian landscape painting. From 1926 to 1930, she studied at the Ontario College of Art, under Group of Seven artists Arthur Lismer and J.E.H. MacDonald. Through them she met Lawren Harris and visited his studio as a teenager in 1928, at a time when his simplification and purification of form and commitment to a theosophical vision of the landscape were firmly established. She experienced the storm of change that occurred in the art world around the Group at this time, and her work was influenced by their groundbreaking art. Group member A.J. Casson commented that McCarthy was “a remarkable woman who developed her own vision and stuck to it.”

Firmly immersed in the Toronto art community, McCarthy was a member of the Ontario Society of Artists, the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour. From 1932 to 1972, she taught art at Toronto’s Central Technical School. Among her pupils was a young Joyce Wieland, who found in McCarthy a role model.

In 2004, the Doris McCarthy Gallery opened at the University of Toronto Scarborough. The gallery has a permanent collection of over 200 of the artist's works and acts to preserve her legacy.
