Dory's grandparents started coming to Briny in the 40's and her parents, Don & Alma Coir, bought in 1984.  So, for all her life, Dory considered Briny a second home.   Her family has several talented artists, some who honed their skills in Briny clubs, but she did not start painting until she retired in 2019.

Dory takes over as President for the 2024 season.  As first vice president, Dory scheduled art demonstrations in the Briny Art Studio throughout the 2022 and 2023 Seasons (pandemic recovery allowing!). She is also an active member of the Briny Garden Club.
