Description: Originally from Clarksburg Ohio, Dora McCollister graduated from the Columbus School of Art (Ohio) in 1932 and went on to become the first person to be awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Ringling College of Art and Design in April 1937. Throughout her long career she explored a breadth of artistic styles, including Impressionism, abstract, traditional landscape, and portraiture. The following appeared in the Sunday Sarasota Tribune telling of the completion of her study: “A graduation exhibition of paintings by Mrs. McCollister, which have been done during the past four months is now on display at Pearson Conrad’s Gallery on Pineapple Avenue. Several Sarasota landscapes and water scenes in oil, a portrait of a negro, and a still life make up the exhibit. Mrs. McCollister has been working at painting for more than 30 years; seriously for 12 years; having studied at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, Art Students’ League of New York, Ohio State University, and with some of the leading painters of the country. She came to the Ringling School of Art last year and has done some of the outstanding work of the school. One of her landscapes will be represented in the 1937-38 catalog of the school.” Throughout her long career she explored a breadth of artistic styles, including Impressionism, abstract, traditional landscape, and portraiture.
