"Personally, I am trying to achieve two things with my art. I hope to acquaint the public with what I consider to be a particularly beautiful art form - Chinese Brush watercolor painting. The philosophy behind this kind of painting is to communicate the Spirit of Nature through Form - the artistic product.

"I also believe that we need more beauty in our lives, and it is my hope that the personal Spirit which is alive in each of us can be nourished by the small bit of Form which I can provide through my pictures. I believe that each of us must work for peace within ourselves first. My paintings are symbolic meditations. Let your eyes follow the lines of the forms. My hope is that, in doing this, you will feel more balanced, focused and peaceful."  Dorothy F. Shepherd
