About The Artist Dolly Buswell



Originally from Baltimore Maryland, Dolly has made Charlottesville Virginia her home having lived there for over forty years. As a young adult, she spent her summers in Virginia, traveling in Europe and attended finishing school in Switzerland. Being an accomplished horsewoman, she raised her family in Charlottesville and has been very active with various Equestrian activities including horse shows and the Keswick and Farmington Hunt Clubs. These affiliations help contribute to her familiarity with the animals she paints.

Dolly incorporates the diverse elements of her life into her paintings. Each of her works shows a remarkable sense of personal style, bold color work, a distinct use of dramatic light and attention to detail.

Dolly's paintings have been shown locally and are in several private collections in Charlottesville as well as surrounding cities.
