Dorothy Margaret Tyas Colles (1917–2003), was an artist in oil, pastel and pencil, notable for portraits, mainly of children. She was born in Cairo, Egypt, where her father worked as a forensic scientist and medical school professor for the Egyptian government. When her father retired and returned to England she studied at the Westminster School of Art before World War II. Between 1940–45 she served in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force in the United Kingdom and the Middle East. After hostilities, she worked in Egypt for the Egypt Exploration Society and for the Jordanian government before returning to London, after which she freelanced. Colles was a member of Pastel Society, also exhibiting at Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Academy. She wrote and illustrated Portraying Children 1956, and in 1971 published Christian Symbols Ancient & Modern with Heather Child, the artist and calligrapher, who was a lifelong companion.
