My Art Walk to the Contemporary Masters

Beschreibung

"Dorothy Slikker made an immediate impression on us with her masterful technique and the beauty of her compositions. Her works range from realistic to realistic-impressionistic, portraits, landscapes and animals, subjects in genre which is unforgiving of the slightest technical misstep, and with Dorothy's work, the viewer will find none! Her perfection is formidable. For us, Dorothy is eminently entitled to a prominent place in any publication or website with the name 'masters' because she truly is a master painter." -Despina Tunberg, Curator

Dorothy (Sanders) Slikker was born in Bakersfield, Ca. on 12/01/1940. My life started in Bakersfield, California, soon after we moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico where the war took its toll on the Sanders Family, leaving a divorced mother and three children. After the war my mother met and married a farmer, whom became my new father. He ruled with a stern hand and I dared not disobey his every command. I always loved art and in Grade School I took 1st place in an art contest painting a tree in water colors. Later when I went to High School I wanted to take some art courses, (my father said no) wanting me to take classes in Business so that someday if I needed to I could support myself in the Business World. In his terms art was not necessary. I obeyed. After being married for 9 years and having three sons, I wanted to do more with my life. John said why don't you take those painting lessons you wanted to take. I felt as though I couldn't do it as I had lost all confidence in my ability to paint. I forged on with John's prodding and found out I could still paint and the brush has never left my hand since 1976. Lois Fox was my teacher and LOOK AT ME NOW!!!Thanks Lois We bought property in Pahrump, NV. in 2002 and I started showing in the local shows and I met a wonderful woman who came up to me and said we were going to be good friends for the rest of our life and I said how do you know? She said because we paint alike. Wonderful DORIS SMITH took me all over the country painting with famous artist of our time. She made my life have meaning and pulled the fun of it into my life. Doris is the one who introduced me to my Mentor Robert Warren. Robert Warren gave me the knowledge and the confidence to move forward into teaching his method of art and obtaining my ultimate goal of CONTEMPORARY MASTERS. ¬ e world is wonderful and it must be recorded in our time with our art.
