With a Cherry on Top, Abstract Painting

Artist Comments
A speck of red, suggesting a single cherry, sits atop a stack of cubes. Blue, gray, and purple dominate the composition, creating a sophisticated color scheme. The vertical arrangement with negative space at the bottom creates a sense of balance.

About the Artist
Artist Dorothy Gaziano depicts abstract sceneries with acrylics, oil pigments, and cold wax. Her process involves applying thin layers of paint, adding and scraping away to reveal the layers beneath. Working without a set plan, she lets each piece evolve naturally. “I never know how a piece will turn out; I work until the physical piece feels like the emotional idea I saw in my mind,” says Dorothy. Her art draws inspiration from the natural world. Dorothy divides her time between a compact studio in Florida and a more expansive 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.
