Dorothy Hourihan "A Flower Show"
Viridian Artists, Inc.
This event has ended.
Dorothy Dierks Hourihan is an artist who uses her art and artmaking to celebrate life. A painter and educator, her passion for painting she says is "like a natural high that comes from interpreting and transforming visual perceptions." Her studio production is determined by her obsession with energy as a symbol of life opposing stagnation and death. In 2009 she had a 50 year retrospective in New York City at The Pen & Brush Club and continues both through her painting and her writing to pursuit a life lived passionately.
Over the years she has created images both realistic and abstract covering the wide range of topics of life: Politics, sports, landscapes, living creatures, patterns and just plain energy. Again, in the artist's words, "Energy fields, both terrestrial and celestial, observed and imagined, seem to me expressions of spiraling, meandering, cascading and rippling in life itself, as well as a reminder of the beauty in nature's taking on a similarity of patterns in all flowing forms." Hourihan, like many passionate artists, sees communicating through art as "perhaps as strong a human need as drinking, eating and loving."
