Dorothy Andrews, 90, well-known artist of Chania, Crete, Greece passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 5.

The daughter of Chester and Marjorie Andrews, she was born October 18, 1918 in Springfield, Mass., spent her childhood in Walpole Mass. and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Smith College in 1940. During her college years she spent time at the University of Mexico; New School for Social Research and Art Students league, New York and Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. Following college she moved to New York City where she continued her painting career and taught art at the Dalton School from 1942 to 1957. She spent several summers at the family cottage on Hodgdon's Island where she painted and did lithography.

While on vacation in Greece in 1956 she made a decision that she would return and the following year arranged a six-month sabbatical from teaching to live in Athens and started giving art classes in the yard outside of her home. This led to a job with the U.S. Embassy teaching art to the embassy children for four years. She traveled to Crete many times during these years and in 1962 moved to Chania permanently.

Her art work, best described as abstract impressionism, was shown in several New York galleries including the Metropolitan Museum of Art - "Young American Artists Show." When she moved to Crete her art work changed and reflected the natural beauty of the island and the effects of the elements on the land and sea. Many of her works are of winter on Crete. She had several shows in New York, Athens and on Crete over the years. Her last show, a retrospective, was held in October 2007 on Crete at the Yiali Tzami Mosque in her home village of Chania.

Andrews, MD of Boothbay Harbor; three nephews, Craig and wife Sherry, John Jr. and wife Lisa, and William and wife Heather, all of Boothbay Harbor; one niece, Marcia Bartholomew and husband Dan of Cumberland; great-nieces, Caitlin, Lee, Allison, Lauren, Alexandra, Ashlea and Abigail Andrews, Barbara and Andrea Bartholomew; and one great-nephew, John Andrews III.
