Their lifestlye was reflected in their art. It presented a mixture of:

* animal pictures including horses and their riders;
* park scenes
* lovely ladies portraits

During WWI she was asked to contribute her artistic talents to record the war efforts. Doris was tortured for the rest of her life by her experiences, that is, the sights, smells and feelings regarding the Concentration Camp - Belsen. She wrote home letters full of the agony she was witnessing and those visions never left this sensitive woman for the remainder of her life.
Doris started her theatrical designer work again (after WWII), but on a smaller scale. During her later years, she rarely did art shows.
