Rural landscapes and wild places have always been important to me. I am a gardener and grow many flowers, but I especially cherish our native wild flowers and woodlands. You will find them many times as subjects in my art.
When I paint the weathered old barns or countrysides it takes me back to my early beginnings on a dairy farm. I think I am trying to hold onto all the things we seem to be losing. Now, I live at a small private lake in Central NY state surrounded by nature, woodlands and farms. It is a quiet, inspiring retreat for me.
I have worked as a Commercial Artist in Washington, DC and Orlando, FL plus have done artwork for newspapers and television. I have been fortunate to win first place cash, ribbons, purchase and popular vote awards. Collectors across the US and other countries have made purchases.
Thank you so much to those who have supported me all these years. You are greatly appreciated!... Smiles, Doris
