Dorothy Braudy was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Maysville, Kentucky.
Dorothy Braudy's artwork explores various styles and media with an emphasis on figures and their relation to color and environment.
In "Animal Rites" shown at Take 2 (a collaborative exhibit between USC's Fisher Gallery and the California African American Museum) visitors peered into the world of zoo animals using a magnifying glass to view their photographs on display.
The human figure and experience is brought to the forefront in "Marking Time" (1995), a biographical snapshot of the artist's life through the recreation of old photographs with oil on canvas paintings.
