Doris Shadbolt was born on November 28, 1918 in Preston, Canada.
Shadbolt attended the University of Toronto, where she studied Fine Arts.
After graduating, Doris Shadbolt worked at the Art Gallery of Ontario (nowadays the Art Gallery of Toronto) as a research assistant, as well as at the National Gallery of Canada. From 1948 to 1949 she served at Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then Doris moved to Vancouver, where she began to work at the Vancouver Art Gallery, first as a volunteer, then as a docent, curator, and director.
Shadbolt was an active art historian and biographer. A subject of her interest was the works of Canadian artist Emily Carr. In the middle of the 1970s, Shadbolt published Emily Carr: A Centennial Exhibition Celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary' of Her Birth. This was followed four years later with the publication of The Art of Emily Carr: A Choice.
In 1987 Shadbolt won the British Columbia Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize, as well as the Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award for Bill Reid. She was also made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1976, and in 2000 received a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. Doris Shadbolt played an influential role in development of Vancouver Art Gallery as a major gallery and meeting place for avant-garde artists, musicians, and writers of the sixties and early seventies. She organized several groundbreaking exhibitions, including the Arts of the Raven, the first major exhibition of Native art in an aesthetic context. Doris also curated several important exhibitions of modem art, including New York 13.
Doris Shadbolt was married to Jack Shadbolt.
Jack Shadbolt was an artist, teacher and benefactor. He wrote and published three books: In Search of Form, Mind’s I, and Act of Art. His works are represented in all major galleries across Canada, including the National Gallery of Canada.
Jack was a recipient of the Guggenheim Award, the Molson Prize, and Gershon Iskowitz Award. He was also awarded the Order of Canada. In 1989, he was made Freeman of the City of Vancouver.
