"I want my work to have life and a feeling of movement, to go beyond the simple materials that comprise its structure.  If  I'm working from a live subject, I try to find out about them and to learn what makes them individual and exceptional.  I'm always happy to have a client's input and I consider them a very useful part of the creative process.  Whether you decide to buy one of my sculptures or to commission a work, you will have my full attention and commitment as an artist." *************************** Dorothy Jackson Smith is an award-winning artist from Broad Run, Virginia. Her works have sold throughout the United States and are currently showing in Galleries on the east coast. She is a professional artist and actress, as well as an avid horsewoman with four horses of her own. Dorothy's bronzes always capture the personality and individuality of their subjects. Owners comment on both the beauty and quality of detail, she is able to capture in her work. The modern steel sculptures have often been referred to as "line drawings in air". It is the deceptive simplicity of these pieces, which makes them so appealing. These modern works are often bought by people with strong backgrounds in design or art and have been purchased by graphic artists, photographers and private collectors. The artist's latest bronze was of Karen and David O'Connor on Prince Panache and Giltedge. This sculpture gave her a chance to create an interesting dynamic among four subjects. It was also a great privilege to have sculpted these two of the country's top Olympic athletes on such impressive horses. Email fineart111@aol.com
