At Doran Studio Katrina and Denny Doran produce works of art in a variety of media.  Katrina, the one in the drawing, imagines she will cover her world in mosaics.  Denny can draw and paint anything.  They show their works at galleries in the Dallas area and most often work on a commission basis.

 

Katrina teaches mosaic classes and workshops at the Creative Arts Center of Dallas, TX, at the Visual Expressions Creative Arts Studio in Cedar Hill, TX and at other spots in the local area.  She is a member of the Society of American Mosaic Artists, the Texas Sculpture Association, and is a Board Member for the Texas Visual Arts Association.

 

One friend recently referred to the two artists as the last true bohemians.  They married for pleasure and now reside and work from a shard-encrusted garden studio in the Trinity Design District of Dallas, TX. 

 

 

   
 
 

Artist Statement:

  I am interested in creating curious objects that seem  magical, that seem as if they are from another time and place, or might have been something you once dreamed.  I gather many types of materials: rusted metal from the street, rocks, glass, dishes, toys, beads, mirror, marble, minerals, fossils, shells, smalti, gold and copper glass tiles, tempered glass, bottles, paints, powders and inks.  I want to select what for me are seemingly incongruous things and assemble them into something new and memorably beautiful.
