While Dorothy Woolbright's career path has led her to teaching and publishing, she has continued to pursue her passion of drawing and painting. Her award winning work has garnered recognition as Best of Show and Director's Choice in several art shows locally and nationally.

Dorothy's method of study continues through visiting museums, art galleries, and traveling. She prefers to paint and draw from life and finds it most important to experience an immediate and direct response to the subject in front of her. She loves to create small, intimate works that reflect the beauty that can be found in the environment and the personal space surrounding everyday life.

"It is important for us to connect to things and people in our experiences and original artwork is one of the best ways we can do that!"

The artist has been featured in the October 2015 issue of Southwest Art Magazine in the Special Section Women In Art.
She is grateful to so many whose influences have inspired her to continue her creative path. Her oil paintings are represented at Howell Gallery of Fine Art in Oklahoma City.
Dorothy lives in Oklahoma City close to her children and grandchildren and travels extensively for creative inspiration and adventure.
