Doris McCarthy, RIP

The McCarthy family has just announced with deep regret that renowned Canadian artist Doris McCarthy has died at the age of 100.

“Doris died peacefully at home, the home she lovingly called Fool’s Paradise which she bought and built in 1939, where she chose to spend her last days surrounded by nature, art, friends and family. We will dearly miss her spirit, but rejoice that she lived such a long and rich life. She will be missed by her family, friends and colleagues, all of whom loved her very much,” said Doris’s niece, Beth McCarthy.
