Doris Boyd


Doris Lucy Eleanor Bloomfield Boyd was an Australian artist, active as a painter and ceramicist.

Doris Boyd was the youngest of six children, born of Victorian Naval Forces Lieutenant Thomas Bunbury Gough and Evelyn Anna Walker Gough . Doris grew up in an unusual household, in which her mothers buoyant spirit, radical politics and Christian Science faith contrasted with her fathers conservative background and temperament. Bunbury Gough was a Lieutenant in the Victorian Navy between 1885 and 1888, a high rank in the Victorian Navy at the time. As Lieutenant, he was in charge of the running of the HMVS Cerberus when the Commander was not on board. Outside of his naval career in Victoria he variously worked as a merchant, as an insurance agent and as a commission agent like his fatherinlaw. Evelyn was coproprietor of The Sun A Society Courier.
