A practice shaped by place

From Berlin to Pecos, color becomes a place to dwell.

Working across acrylic, oil color, cold wax and crayon, Dorothea builds paintings where memory, movement and the natural world can meet.

Her work moves between the gentle light of her home in Germany and the intense skies and earth of New Mexico, creating spacious abstractions that remain open to the viewer.
