Born in Sheffield, the daughter of John Gutteridge SYKES, Dorcie Sykes was educated at Penzance High School. While looking after her father, who died in 1941, she studied at the Harvey & Procter School of Painting under Stanhope Forbes.
Dorcie is best known for her flower paintings in watercolour, with their fine detail and exquisite colouring. She also painted landscapes, usually depicting animal life at the same time.
Latterly she wrote and illustrated a story for children, called The Sea Cats. She looked after many cats in her home in Penzance, and aside from flowers her other major subject was the drawing of animals. In the 1937 Exhibition at NAG both she and her father were exhibiting together.
