I love to paint! Period. Although I won the annual art award my senior year in high school (long long ago), "life" got in the way of my pursuing an art career. When I turned 60 I just decided to start; to learn as best I could. I am a member of the "It's never to late to start club". Thank goodness for the internet - so many wonderful art videos available.
Dorian Berman is a self-taught American artist currently living in Bethesda, MD. Originally from Dallas, Texas, she started her love of culture and travel as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, and later lived ten years in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She left Montreal and her many years of teaching to become a full-time artist four years ago, settling in the Washington, D.C. area.
I was born and raised through my teenaged years, in New Orleans. It framed my vision of life. It was and continues to be a place of extremes: beauty and decay, religion and ritual, custom and iconoclasm. From that experience, I acquired an excitement for visual matters: colors, forms and even artifacts. Having lived on the border with Mexico for ten years changed my view of contemporary culture and our collective social responsibility. As a result, the expression of my imagery has become more topical.
I am a Maryland artist who draws his inspiration from philosophy, sacred history, and the natural world. Working in a variety of media -- mainly acrylic paint -- I try to convey a sense of mystery and expectancy in my paintings, so that each transcends momentary impressions to describe permanent things.
