With its pristine, high-gloss surfaces and accentuated colours, Dorothy's work moves towards an almost sculptural three-dimensionality in its delineation of forms, her now-signature expression of a wildly orchidaceous passion.

​

Absolute devotion to detail brings highlight to the true intricacies of orchids, be it that those who come across her work witness all that such a compelling flower has to say. "The closer you look, the more you see," a perpetuating experience available only to those enthralled by the overlooked beauty of the world around them. 

 

With newfound motif to introduce such an experience to even the most unobservant of eyes, Dorothy's every work aims to showcase "the art within the bloom."

Of Polish decent, Dorothy grew up surrounded by the most intricate of European art and architecture that history had to offer. Within this timeline, an artist's skill was measured by the depth of detail to which they could descend, an ideology most captivating for Dorothy. Her father, a revered crystal artisan, had endowed her his gift of intricacy, perpetuating the generational artistry now nestled deeply within her roots.

 

Although rich in culture, Poland was recovering from communism and deprived of opportunity, lacking that which an artist needs most: freedom. Unable to flourish, Dorothy looked to the United States in hopes of a more prominent career. Although only 18 at the time, the vision was clear of where her future lied, and after a warm greeting from the Floridian sun, a new home had been undoubtedly found. Here she found the peace and inspiration she needed to develop her passion. Her keen eye and steady hand granted Dorothy her first position in life as a medical illustrator, where she'd hand-draw anatomical portrayals with the necessary detail and accuracy required for use in the court of law. And although her artistic career has evolved greatly since then, she continues to bring her passion to life on every canvas within her reach.
