Dornith Doherty (b. 1957) is an artist working primarily with photography, video, and scientific imaging, living and working in Denton, Texas. A Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and Fulbright Scholar, her work interweaves the evidentiary and metaphoric powers of photographic images to illuminate ecological and philosophical issues that are often neglected when considering human entanglements in the environment. Doherty received her MFA in Photography from Yale University and serves as Distinguished Research Professor at the University of North Texas. In addition to Conduit Gallery, she is also represented by Moody Gallery, Houston.

Her work has been exhibited widely in the US and abroad, including solo exhibitions at the National Academy of Sciences and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and curated group exhibitions at the Denver Museum of Art, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, among others. Her honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim and Fulbright foundations, grants from the Japan Foundation and the United States Department of the Interior, the designation of 2016 Texas State Artist of the Year, and most recently the title of Eminent Professor at UNT in 2026.
