DOROTHY DENT
   Always inclined to be artistic since childhood, and has been involved in the creative art world for over 30 years.  Born on a farm south of      Springfield Missouri, she developed a love of old barns, water mills, cabins and rural settings.  These subject matters, dear to her heart, comprise most of the country landscapes for which she has become so well known.

Dorothy's studio and retail art shop, Painter's Corner, Inc. is located in Republic, Missouri (just west of Springfield and not far from Branson).  She teaches workshops and week long seminars throughout the year here and around the country and abroad.  Dorothy has authored many books on landscape painting, as well as others that follow along with the two 13-week PBS television series which aired several years ago

 As a nationally recognized artist, she travels extensively in the USA, Canada, Japan and Argentina, teaching her painting methods both in oils and acrylics, in an easy to understand step-by-step procedure, allowing even beginners to complete paintings they are proud of.  Although Dorothy is best known for her work in oils, she also paints in acrylics.

 Dorothy has now retired from teaching, but has decided to keep her website open so her students can still have access to her books, packets, and brushes.
