A friend and associate of members of the Group of Seven, Doris Mills, a self-taught artist, did well enough to be an invited contributor to several of the Group’s exhibitions in the 1920s. She has been credited by art historians as a pioneer in the business of art rentals, and of being one of the first Canadian painters to work in an abstract style. Later, from about 1940, as Doris Speirs, and living in Pickering Township, she was a patron of the arts and was often consulted by the media for information about the Group, who, by this time, had all departed the scene.
