Bicycle Races Figline Val d'Arno

Standing on the shoulders of Monet and Matisse, Dorothy's colorful paintings stand apart in international collections including; Musee de La Grande Vigne, Dinan, France, Boston Children's Hospital, City University of New York, and Longwood University Art Museum. Studying painting in oils, pastels, and watercolors as a child, Dorothy completed her B.F.A. in Printmaking and Painting at East Carolina University. In a ten-year mentorship in Master Impressionist Painting, Robert Bowers Mayo guided Fagan to look inside herself to paint landscapes of the heart. 

In both paintings and fiber art, Dorothy Fagan takes us to the depths of human darkness and back into the embrace of the light. Fusing colorist ideas and techniques with modern healing art, she paints to create peace in her own heart. Her vibrant spectral palette and energetic brush strokes reveal intimate details of her inner world. Landscape symbols, translated as dreams, uncover hidden meaning in a mirror world.
