Dora Neilson has been painting for several years and began painting at her local Art Society starting from the very beginning, learning how to mix colours and going through the basics of painting using oils as her medium. Painting soon became a passion and she would paint both at the studio and at home not realising most times that she was still painting at two o’clock in the morning. Dora’s subjects change depending on her moods and interests. She has a passion for birds, insects and wildlife. Parrots play a large part in Dora’s life and, along with her family, lives with four hand-raised parrots - so she never moves around the house without a parrot perched on her shoulder. Cows are of particular interest and Dora paints them from quirky angles and has depicted them driving farm “utes” and tractors. Dora has studied portraiture and has completed a large portrait of her son which she entered into the Doug Moran Portrait Prize competition. The nature of the subjects Dora studies has led her to paint in contemporary styles and she finds this also brings bright colours into her works. Dora featured her contemporary art works at her solo exhibition in the “Dandenongs” of Victoria, where she grew up, and regularly exhibits in her home town of Traralgon. Along the way Dora has had
some exciting and innovative tutors and she thanks them for steering her toward
her own style and thinking “outside the square”. |
