December Artist - Dorothy Wong

On exhibit for the month of December is art from Dorothy Lam Wong

A recently retired psychologist, Dorothy took up photography because she enjoys capturing the beauty around her and sharing it with others. Dorothy sees beauty in simplicity and in the mundane. Her use of lighting and color bring out the ethereal and sensual qualities of her subjects. Her approach to photography is unique and personal, making her work appealing to many. Dorothy has primarily focused on Still Life and Flowers, but is beginning to explore other areas.

Dorothy's work has won several awards in both local and national competitions - the Photographic Society of America (2003), Houston Chinese Photographic Society (monthly and annual competitions), Beaumont Art League (2002) and the Texas Art Museum in Port arthur (2003). Her work has also been exhibited in numerous shows including Fotofest 2004, the annual Christmas Show for the 4W Consortium, the Annual Membership shows of both the Houston Center for Photography and the Houston Chinese Photographic Society, the Texas City Art Festival and Fotofest 2006. She has also had a solo show at Crossline Gallery in April of 2005.

The Breast Care Center at the Methodist Hospital has 40 of Dorothy's floral prints in their permanent collection. Dorothy's floral prints are currently exhibited as part of a show "Life in Bloom" at the Methodist Hospital.

There will be an artist reception for Dorothy this Thursday.  See our Event calendar for details.
