Dorothy Atkins Paints
bio
Eric Millette Photographer
Dorothy Atkins has delighted art lovers with her simple style and use of color. A self-taught artist depicting female harmony. Some quiet and at times bold. She draws positive images “a reminder of her own life”, that energy fuels her passion and inspires her to draw and paint. Her artwork has made it into the homes of private collectors around the world.
An artist, life coach and motivational speaker, she tells her stories in vivid colors that mimic her work. Many of her images are gleaned from a family of storytellers. Dorothy finds her voice in painting. "I love being deeply moved." She uses a variety of media to express herself, acrylic, and oil and recently ink. "Color creates a specific vibration and is an elemental aspect of my work".
