Dorothy
C. Pfaff has been through many metamorphoses as both an Artist and a person.
Growing up in the Chicago area, she moved to Atlanta by the time she was
24, never to return (except for visits). Before this she had become part
of the Graphic Arts World while still a student at College.
While in her late teens and early twenties, she had become very influenced
by the late 1800s in general and in Aubrey Beardsley in especial for artist
technique and style. Even today that influence still shows in her pen
and ink. With a love of history and the spiritual, Dorothy's work began
to reflect that era not only in style, but in thought as well. The late
1800s was a time of much mysticism, occult and magick, impacting Dorothy
on many levels.
For several years Dorothy remained part of the Graphic's World, but not
truly a creative part. It was only her departure from that world for 7+
years as a specialized Cake Decorator that she realized herself as an
Artist in truth and honestly gave herself permission to be that.
Once again Dorothy found herself back in the Graphics World where she
quickly became the Illustrator for the Aquarius Newspaper of Atlanta,
eventually creating their Website and for a time being the Newspaper's
Designer. After ten years she decided to take her work out on its own
to try her wings in a bigger arena.
Most
of her current work displayed is of pieces she did for Aquarius and reflect
the New Age subjects of articles and sometimes products. She is most fond
of her many Astrology works as well as a series for the Chinese version.
She intends to do some colorized versions of her works as well as begin
new pieces that will reflect her more personal mindset.
Dorothy currently resides in the country, north of Atlanta with her husband
and mate of over 20 years. They are loved and love their cats and dogs
and the many trees that surround them on their property. Their property
is also very Eldritch touched, giving a wonderful sense of healing to
all who may come there.
