Doris Roland Art

i have had since childhood.  

my work elicits strong feelings and admiration

I delight in the diverse backgrounds and ages of those who view and enjoy my creations.

i produce timeless-realistic paintings. Bold hues and dynamic movement are in my compositions.

aND i love reading and gardening. Fortunately they are so interrelated and enhancing.

Early on a career in [education administration] and raising a family took the forefront.
Happily, i am now able to devote study and indulge in the creation of art.
