ARTIST’S STATEMENT:   When I create art, I try to tell a story.  I use realism as a style not because I am trying to make an exact copy, but because I enjoy vividly representing a subject.  I especially take pleasure in using detail in my work which I hope brings enjoyment to the viewer.  The use of color, light, and subject matter set the mood.

Dorette received an Associate’s Degree in Advertising from Fashion Institute of Technology and studied at St. John’s University, School of Visual Arts, Westchester Art Center and NY Botanical Garden.  Her work experience includes graphic design and drawing instructor for adults and children.  She does pet and home portraits by commission.
