Dottie attended the University of Georgia¹s Studies Abroad Program in Cortona, Italy as an Artist in Residence. Considering the fact that she is a self-taught artist, her acceptance was quite an honor as it was based solely on her merits rather than her education. The new Cooper-K style was born and blossomed into the collection of paintings that have captivated the interest of her followers.
Dottie's accomplishments include several one- person shows, exhibits, and many awards including Best of Shows. Additionally, her publications include a three-page article in Florida Wildlife Magazine, an illustration in Florida Naturalist, cover artist for both North Florida Living and three issues of Metro Magazine. This architectural watercolor collage that appeared in Metro Orlando Home Magazine is rich in texture and imagination, as all of her pieces seem to be. The mixed media work together until they have created a work greater than the sum of its parts.
Dottie believes that we should all live our lives to their fullest and she wants that reflected in her work. As she puts it, "We are all here for a purpose... and we are all here for each other." There is no doubt that Dottie is not only here for us, but has given us a tremendous gift that we can carry with us for the rest of our lives. That is the gift of herself deeply embedded in the pieces of art she has made available to each of us
Dottie has the distinguished honor to be cited in the National Register's Who' s Who in Executives and Professionals, 2003 - 2004 edition (page 1200).
