Dod Proctor (born Doris Shaw, 1892 - 1972) was a Cornish artist, and the wife of Ernest Proctor. From around 1922, Proctor painted a series of simplified, monumental images of young women of her acquaintance. They were typified by the volume of the figures, brought out by her use of light and shadow. During her life-time and after her death her work fell out of favour.
