Open Fields, Abstract Painting

2025

Artist Comments
Scratches and scrapes create texture across this warm abstract landscape. Vibrant rust and orange tones stand out against a soft light blue sky, giving the scene a vivid sense of depth. The contrast draws the eye to the layered fields and their subtle variations. The composition feels balanced and harmonious, with color and texture working together to shape the landscape.

About the Artist
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.
