Dorothy Eugenie Brett
American painter, 1883–1977
Through friends in England, she met the novelist D. H. Lawrence, who convinced her to move to Taos with him and his wife Frieda in 1924. They lived on the property of Mabel Dodge Luhan, an art patron and Greenwich Village saloniste who was a key player in the Taos art scene. Brett was quite hard of hearing and carried various hearing aids throughout her lifetime—including an ear cone she named Tobey.
