About Doretta Bendalin

Albuquerque, NM

At the age of twelve, after being particularly struck by a "Rousseau":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Rousseau painting at the "Museum of Modern Art":http://www.moma.org/ in New York, Doretta Bendalin knew she wanted to be an artist. She went on to study art at the University of Texas and earned her Master's from Pratt Institute in New York.

Her work is vibrant, warm and whimsical, featuring landscapes, still life, portraiture and figurative compositions.

Bendalin has studied under several well-known artists including "Charles Reid":http://www.charlesreidart.com/display/supplementalpages/biography.cfm, "Dong Kingman":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dong_Kingman and "Millard Sheets":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millard_Sheets.
