Born in Westbury-on-Trym in Bristol in 1899 as Dorothy Marian Isbell, the daughter of Charles Edwin Isbell (1863-1942) , a solicitor, and Bertha Marian (née Keith-Williams) at an early age she discovered an aptitude for drawing before being drawn towards a career on the stage. In 1912 her family relocated to London and she began her career as an artist after seeing the play "Vanity Fair" at the Palace Theatre in 1916. Of the play she later wrote, ‘I was fascinated by the wonderful dancing and art of Regine Flory and admired her so much that I started to design a special poster of her, really to amuse myself, based on my recollections of this vivid artist seen across the footlights.’ A friend took her drawing to Sir Alfred Butt who bought it and gave her a two-year contract (c1917-1918) to design posters and programme covers for of all his shows including "The Boy" (1917), "The Beauty Spot" (1918), "Going Up" (1918), "Telling the Tale" (1918), "The Latest Craze" (1919), "The Kiss Call" (1919), "Very Good Eddie" (1919) and "Hello America" (1919). Her comic illustrations also appeared in various British newspapers and magazines.
