Item Description
Doris was raised in the farmhouse that her father was born in, on a farm that was in his family for over 100 years. She learned how to drive a tractor when she was twelve. She has herded cattle, mucked stables, picked rocks, baled hay, and mended fences. Farm life was full of opportunities to tend to sick or abandoned runt piglets, kittens, chipmunks, bunnies, birds, and mice.
Doris was the kid in school who was known as the artist. Her friends asked her to illustrate their book reports or give them drawings for birthdays.
The Artist's process:
"I begin to paint with two brushes at a time, one in each hand. I use one brush to apply the paint and the other to remove it, building layer upon layer, scraping back into the layers of paint, to begin building again. Washes of color set the stage while instinctive marks made with brushes, sticks, graphite, charcoal or another utensil convey the narrative. The language in my marks correlates to my early fascination with petroglyphs and my childhood mark-making instincts."
Her works have been displayed at Vanderbilt University and the Country Music Hall of Fame here in Nashville, TN.
