Dorothy Fagan is a painter working in
Mathews County, Virginia, en plein air
and in the luminist style. Her paintings
are influenced by American Impressionists
including Elliot
Clark, George Innes
and Martin J. Heade. Fagan paints the
fleeting light and coastal
marshes along
the Chesapeake and the Low Country
of the Carolinas. She also
paints the
rolling hills and mountain streams of
the Appalachian Mountains.
In both genres, she asks the viewer to share her intense
feelings for the land
by seeing it’s subtle and sometimes startling colors.
Her work has been featured in two PBS specials and is included
in over two
hundred private collections in the U. S., England and Lebanon
and Canada.
Her paintings are in the collections of the City University of
New York, General
Electric, First National Exchange Bank, International Paper,
Emory University,
Longwood College, Monarch Bank, Towne Bank, AAA and Coldwell
Banker.
