Piece description from the artist
Tranquility and exhilaration feel simultaneously peaceful and energizing. Radiant sunset brings the heart home, while uplifting light feels ethereal. Inspired by the coastal light of my Virginia home, I paint emotional heartscapes.
Dorothy Fagan's search for joy inspires her uplifting paintings. Her harmonious blend of gentle pastel and jewel colors help viewers tune in to their colorful nature and the landscape within.
Located at the confluence of fresh and salt water, she paints brackish waters of the Great Chesapeake Bay Watershed at her studio by the pond in Mathews County, Virginia for two decades. In 2012 her first 10' multi-canvas mural, 'Heart' was installed in the lobby of the Camp LeJeune Health Facility in collaboration with Distinctive Art Source.
She holds a B.F.A. from East Carolina University in Printmaking and Painting, and an American Masters Painting Mentorship with Robert Bowers Mayo, Richmond, Virginia.
