Dorothy Lake Gregory (1893–1975) was an American artist best known for her work as a printmaker and illustrator of children's books. She took art classes in public school and at the age of fourteen began making drawings for a New York newspaper. She studied art in Paris in her late teens and thereafter took classes at Pratt Institute, the Art Students League of New York, and the Cape Cod School of Art. Her career as a professional artist began with her participation in an exhibition of paintings at the Art Students League in 1918. Her first book illustrations appeared three years later. She first showed prints in an exhibition held in 1935. She continued as artist, illustrator, and printmaker for most of the rest of her life employing throughout a different style for each of the three media. In 1956, a critic contrasted the "cubistic" painting style of that time with the book illustration style for which she was better known, saying he had heard gallery-goers incredulously remark, "But she can't be the same Dorothy Lake Gregory."
