Dottie Matheson

Many artists, no matter the medium, can remember when we were children and enjoyed complete freedom of expression. We drew, painted and created with total abandon. Likely, art was our top subject in school.

During Elementary and Junior High School days, Dottie was no different. Her watercolor paintings, colored pencil drawings and pottery earned her much recognition and won many ribbons. Her artwork went on display in shopping malls and many public places.

Unfortunately, during the beginning of High School, she stood helplessly by as her parent’s marriage crumbled and ended in divorce. Dottie’s young life took a drastic downturn. Her wonderful expression of creativity soon became buried under a spiral of troubling emotions. Instead of turning to her art, she ran to other things in an attempt to fill the swirling void she felt inside.

As it does, life happened; through adulthood she busied herself building businesses. The longing to create, which had been stifled to a whisper, was about to arise into a scream.

In 2009 that scream became a roar and her early love of creating art spilled out, blossomed and awakened fully. Since then she has continued to work to develop her gift and paint with unrelenting passion!
