DOLORES NEUMANN

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

"It's watercolor, collage, acrylics, shapes, interlocking colors, the challenge goes on----The gift and joy of painting never ends". 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dolores has been drawing since she was a little girl and lucky to have parents who encouraged her God-given talent.  From Grade school on, Dolores has been studying and refining her talents.  Upon graduation from high school, her portfolio was complete and she began working for a buying office that provided out-of-state department stores with illustrations for newspaper ads.

After raising a family of seven wonderful children, the Neumanns moved to Phoenix in 1986.  Dolores studied at the Shemer Art Center with Ann Mc Eachron.  She met Ruth Palmisano, her art teacher and joined the Phoenix Artists Guild.  In 1997, the Paradise Valley Artists League, with the help of Ruth Palmisano, was founded.  Dolores served as President for two years.  In 1999 Dolores became a member of Critique Encounters XII.  This small cohesive group has studied with well-known artists such as Betsy Dillard Stroud, Virginia Cob and Ruth Palmisano.

Dolores' work is on exhibit at the Critique Encounters Gallery in Prescott.  She has also won awards for her work in exhibits organized by the Peoria Arts Commission, and is a juried member of Arizona Art Alliance.
