A Texan with San Antonio roots, Dorothy has “painted” herself back to Texas, after continuing her art creations over the past 60 years in various Southern states, including the great cities of Austin & Dallas, TX, Atlanta and Dawsonville, GA, New Orleans, LA and Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL. Her passion with color and artistic expression began early in life and with self-taught experimentation.
Dorothy is currently an active Member of the Austin Mosaic Guild, International Society of Experimental Artists (ISEA), Austin Pastel Association, Wimberley Valley Art League and The Bunkhouse Gang (Cypress Mill, TX). She has served on the Board of the Georgia Watercolor Society and the Atlanta Artist Center, where she is currently a Merit Member. Dorothy is also Signature Member of the Watercolor Society of Alabama and Juried Member of the Southern Watercolor Society, and Austin Mosaic Guild.

As a dream is ‘free thought,’ unburdened by reality, my imagination leads in the creation of my artwork. I may refer to nature or my surroundings for reference, although the destination is to create, not to imitate."
"Experiment and expression with color is akin to a ‘fork in the road’ – you make a decision on which direction to go and what path to take. In art, these decisions are the creativity that I express. I draw on my imagination, before I draw in reality.”
