Dorothy Gaziano
Boiling Springs, South Carolina
Artist Dorothy Gaziano depicts abstract scenes primarily in cool colors, drawing inspiration from the natural world. “I never know how a painting will turn out; I work until the physical piece matches the emotional idea I envisioned,” says Dorothy. Growing up in New England, she moved from the city to the Boston suburbs during her teenage years, where she enjoyed proximity to both beaches and mountains. Beginning her artistic career in folk art, she spent many years with a publishing company that distributed prints of her work. Today, Dorothy splits her time between a studio in Florida and a workspace in South Carolina, where she listens to music while painting. Outside of her creative hobbies, Dorothy enjoys walking, biking, and caring for her air plants.
Artist Statement
I'm an abstract artist who pours emotion onto canvas through color and form. Drawn to earthy palettes with bold accents for contrast, I embrace unpredictability in my creative process. Each piece starts with a base color; from there, I paint until the canvas reflects my emotional vision. Using brushes, scrapers, and sometimes my hands, I connect deeply with the paint and my feelings, constantly exploring new techniques in my studio hours.
Raised in New England, I've been inspired by both urban and suburban landscapes, surrounded by beaches and mountains that influence my art. Texture forms the core of my work, as I experiment with found objects and diverse methods to bring freshness to my art. My goal is to evoke heartfelt connections with viewers, using layered, blended paints to add depth and interest. Nature, from autumn trees to blooming flowers, serves as a constant muse, alongside fleeting emotions that drive my creativity.
