About Dorothy Fagan

Cobbs Creek, VA

Flourishing in the Meadow of Life
My work is an invitation to feel light in the body and reconnect with the divine feminine nature of earth’s garden. Emotional color reflects the healing light within.
The power of our human-nature collaboration is at hand. Amidst traumatic global transformation, e-motion is the catalyst. Releasing earth sky water energies, I fuse sacred dictations with fluid color, impasto texture, gritty willow charcoal, and intention.
From my studio on the pond, at the vortex of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and the Atlantic Ocean, earth’s garden amplifies her call to us though meditation, journaling, cosmic and spiritual practice.
I use my chakra-aligned palette to reweave the heartland. These hot pink and green hues, previously short-circuited by cultural norms, restore juxtapositions of sparking unconditional love, grace, and understanding.

Dorothy Fagan holds a B.F.A. in printmaking and painting from East Carolina University, and completed a ten- year mentorship with Robert Bowers Mayo in American Masters Painting. Fagan's paintings are collected by hospitals, institutions, and corporations in the United States and abroad, including Musee de La Grande Vigne, City University of New York, Camp Lejeune Mental Health Center, and Vir Biotechnology.
