"Many Artist Statements refer to “Nature” and “Colors” as a means to describe why a person has taken on the mighty task of painting. I too could fall under that umbrella, but I consider myself an “outdoor” painter, also known as a Plein Aire Painter. Once someone asked me, “Why plein aire?” My answer, ”because being outdoors offers an infinite array of possibilities that tickle not only my mind, but yours as well...day by day, season by season. So please enjoy!” -Doris Mady

As a child, before all the budget cuts for The Arts, Doris was fortunate enough to attend public schools that had art programs. In Junior High School and High School she  majored in art and is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, studied at School of Visual Arts, Westchester Community and Skidmore Colleges. Following a long, successful advertising career as creative director/art director in some of advertising’s Top Twenty advertising agencies she decided to pursue her first love: oil painting. In addition to so many wonderful places in the US, painting has taken her to South America, Europe, and the South Pacific! In addition to traveling Doris’s artwork has afforded her almost a dozen awards and has gained her membership to 7 prestigious art councils.
