Dorothy is an award winning artist who has been painting most of her life and it shows in her vibrant work. She paints many subjects and is qualified in all. She also has the ability to intone enough color and depth to make a watercolor as deep as an oil painting.
She started her career by painting landscapes with deer, horses and birch trees in oil. When the fumes began to affect her she switched to Acrylics and watercolors and has perfected it in the years since then.

AWARD WINNER SPLASH juried art show 2022
Nature has taught me to appreciate my surroundings, I'm inspired by it's beauty.
Nothing is more exhilarating than to paint something new and then to capture its essence
watercolor is the only medium that creates the softness of color, no other medium comes close. It has taught me perseverance and given me my greatest satisfaction.
I feel fortunate that through my paintings I'm able to share the beauty that surrounds us.
