Doris Shadbolt was born as Doris Meisel 1918 in Preston, Ontario. She studied art at Simon Fraser University and the University of Toronto, where she received her bachelor's degree in 1941. She then worked for the Art Gallery of Ontario (1942-1943) and the National Gallery of Canada ( 1943-1945 ). In 1945 she married the artist Jack Shadbolt. For the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she worked 1948 until 1949. Afterwards, she moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, the Vancouver Art Gallery, where she worked as curator and later ended up working as Deputy Director for the Museumspädogik. 1973 they appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada. Doris Shadbold had an influential role in the development of this largest art museum of the city and organized many meetings of the artistic avant-garde of all styles of arts during the 1960s and 1970s. My lifelong interest in Canadian art, especially that of the north-west coast of Canada, manifested itself in various groundbreaking exhibitions such as Arts of the Rave, the first major art exhibition by artists of the First Nation over a mere anthropological aspect, or the exhibitions on the work of Emily Carr and that of Bill Reid. Always open to new things, she served as curator at major art exhibitions of modernity, including the New York 13 and the Los Angeles 6

For her work on Bill Reid in 1987 for Bill Reid awarded the Hubert Evans Non- Fiction Prize and the Bill Duthie Booksellers ' Choice Award. So far it is the only time that a book could be successful in two categories of the BC Book Prizes.

After her husband died in 1998, Doris Shadbold died 2003. Both honor was based on a foundation.
