new earth healing palettes
Step into the challenge of our lifetime: to heal the self and the earth. At this sacred site where woodland streams flow from their Appalachian source — through my studio by the pond — to the Atlantic, I sense color deeply in my body.
"Revealing a sophisticated understanding of rhythm, Dorothy Fagan orchestrates a chromatic intensity with balance and sensitivity, allowing bold hues to coexist with softer transitions in a way that feels intentional and deeply intuitive." ~ Ainhoa Fernández, curator Madrid, Spain

Reweaving the Heartlands
For my life-size emotional paintings, I draw inspiration from my extensive background in music, daily gardening, and healing trauma. To me, painting feels like conducting an orchestra of voices singing in harmony with earth. I embody the landscape as I paint, moving with the undulating flow, I transcribe feelings with vibrant emotional colors, grounded with gritty willow charcoal drawings.
I develop New Earth Healing Palettesâ„¢ for site specific works in collaboration with homeowners, designers and consultants. Join me for a look at what's on the easel. I work on multiple projects simultaneously and cross-cultivate ideas and inspiration with conversation. Meet me for your virtual studio visit. Schedule at the link below.
