Dorothy Mayhall Art
American, d. 1995
Dorothy Mayhall was a student, artist, teacher, soldier and museum director. Whatever she did, she never strayed too far from her main focus of art. She got an MFA degree in sculpture and painting and a MA degree in art history, and spent a year at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, in Paris, as a full-bright scholar. Mayhall taught art at the University of Nebraska, her alma mater. To add a little more excitement to her life, she entered the Women's Army Corps, during the late 1950s. As a 2nd lieutenant, she was chief of the Visual Arts Training Center at Ft. Lee, Virginia. The second tour of duty, as a 1st lieutenant, took her to Japan. Once released from active duty in the Army, she moved to New York, where the art action was and began working at MOMA, building her contacts among artists and gallerists. Mayhall became a museum director and was the first director at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art and the Storm King Center for Art and was the director of the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, at the time of her untimely death, in 1995. She championed the work of women artists and younger artists. She was a mentor of the owner of the ODETTA gallery and offered her first museum exhibition as a fledgling curator, in 1995. Her work was represented by Sachs Gallery, in New York City and PMW Gallery, in Stamford, Connecticut.

The Quiet Breath
By Louise Blyton
Located in Phoenix, AZ
b. Melbourne, Australia
Louise Blyton is a reductive artist exploring the romance of raw linen and dry pigment. The artist’s geometrically shaped canvases explore color, light, and form through the visual language of Reductivism, an aesthetic style characterized by streamlined compositions, restricted color, and a reduction of form and means. Identifying with Reductivism’s simplicity, Blyton’s shaped canvases and three-dimensional wall sculptures elevate craftsmanship and process, achieving a compositional clarity that unifies color and form.
To construct her works, Blyton covers custom built balsa wood stretchers with raw linen, adorning them with layers of pure pigment or acrylic paint. Each pigment reacts differently to raw linen and requires a specific number of coats to reach the artist’s desired level of saturation. As the artist explains, “I’m always looking for a kind of quietness and harmony when making my works even if the color being used is loud.”
The artist creates her own spatial dimension by manipulating the shape of the canvas, which escapes from the flat surface of the wall, confusing its role as a painting. “Rather than responding to the architecture they ask particular attributes of the building to act as support,” as some works appear to climb the surface of the walls, while others straddle columns and corners.
Louise Blyton lives and works in Melbourne, Australia. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia in 1988. Her works are held in significant corporate and private collections in Australia, China, France, United Kingdom, Portugal, and the United States. Since 2000, Blyton has run an artist supply store called, St. Luke Artist Colourman, which specializes in professional paint and raw materials, with her husband David Coles.
