We can configure two, three and four room suites for large parties or families who would love this room as much as Dorothy Brett were she here today.  She was a British painter, remembered as much for her social life as for her art. Born 10 November 1883 into an aristocratic British family, she lived a sheltered early life. During her student years at the Slade School of Art, she associated with Dora Carrington, Barbara Hiles and the Bloomsbury group. Among the people she met was novelist D. H. Lawrence, and it was at his invitation that she moved to Taos, New Mexico in 1924. She remained here for the rest of her life, becoming an American citizen in 1938. Lady Dorothy Brett passed away 27 August, 1977.
