While studying at Guadalajara University, Dorothy fell in love with the people and culture. During this time, she drastically changed her technique with oils, painting with a palette knife instead of a brush. She spent four years in Mexico working on her collection; several paintings took more than a year to complete. The collection displays some of the artist’s most emotionally intense and vibrant works.
