the healing power the Heart
My Healing Color Story of Expressionist Visionary Art
dorothy fagan
In my sunroom studio, I cut through thick emotional colors with a trowel-size palette knife. To instigate alchemy, I carve channels of light with charred willow twigs, grounding and opening the heart flow all at once.
My Splash Scribble process came to me as I shot color from the hip, responding to threatening emotions of the assault. As I draw, my emotions transform into an avalanche of deep, undulating healing waves, flushing away tear-like arrays, past life relics, and cottages.
The landscape of the heart responds to care and cultivation, cross-hatched fields and furrows drawn into the warp and weft of life with journaled presence. Each painting – an ekg reading of earth-heart connection – portrays a state of efflorescence blossoming from within. Over five decades three pathways of healing emerge; Sunrise Sunset, Land of Plenty, and Flourish.

I orchestrate each collection envisioning people embraced by the light. I envision heartscapes that mirror and magnify inner radiance and vitality, surrounding hearts with ethereal color and earthy texture.

"To my delight Dorothy spent an hour with me on the phone and set up a FaceTime visit to view her work. She invited me to her studio and I was in heaven. I initially purchased 2 pieces and fell in love. These two pieces were the palette for my entire house. Dorothy was amazing with me and my interior designer used the paintings as inspiration for my entire house.
"I recently called Dorothy again for a piece for my den. She listens, suggests, and helps me navigate my style vibe If I only had more walls…… " Kelly M. Naples, FL
