Like in Many artistic areas. one must have learned the technique first before allowing the creativeness to flow. In the creative side of art it just so happens that emotions influence much of the work. I was a victim of domestic violence for many years and from that experience I have released the hurt, sorrow and anger into my paintings. The ability to share those paintings with others helps me heal.
Imagine Ballet Theatre would like to welcome Jenna Craven, Aleksandra Winkler and Abigail Walker into the Company.
Oil Paintings of Dorothy N. V. Smith on exhibit at Imagine Ballet Theatre Studio.
Dorothy N. V. Smith was born and raised in Salt Lake City. She has always liked the arts and drawing. She has worked with many different forms of art. They range from drawings and oil painting to making flowers; arranging flower centerpieces, corsages, bouquets, upholstery and refinishing and tole and porcelain painting.
She has always love to decorate and create beautiful things. Drawing and painting were always her first love. She has many oil paintings of her grandchildren when they were young.
Dorothy started oil painting in 1968, when a young neighbor, who was attending the U of U as an art student, asked if she would like to learn. This young artist was Ken Baxter, now a renowned Utah artist.
Some of her Instructors over the years have been Kay Fitzgerald Smith, Eleanor Zimmerman, and Floyd E. Breinholt. Dorothy’s paintings show her love for nature and detail. A variety of mountain scenes and streams give a feeling of serenity. Other works include The Girl in Red and Navajo Woman. One of her paintings is in the permanent collection of the VA Hospital in Salt Lake City.
This will mark the first public showing of her work at age 90.
