Dorothy McLennan is our October Artist of the Month.

It’s never too late to start in a new direction.  Dorothy graduated with a BA in English Literature, but it was not until years later, after her children were grown, that she started in a brand-new direction.  She then earned a BFA from East Carolina University School of Arts.  What an exciting career she has had from that point!

She continued to study from well known and masterful artists to refine her knowledge and skill.  Her work is superlative.  She is able to capture the spirit of her subjects not only their physical characteristics.

Dorothy maintains a studio in an old church on her husband’s generations-old family farm in Scotland Neck, North Carolina.  We are honored to have her join us for Artwalk in October.
