“I love color, it
goes back to
the things I
saw as a child
— a Christmas
tree, a ball
bouncing, a
kite.”
—DOROTHY GILLESPIE
Clockwise from top: Dorothy Gillespie created large-scale paintings in the 1950s and early ‘60s, like this piece exhibited at the Miami Museum
of Art in 1962. Gillespie and friend Tony Rivenbark stand at the Cameron Art Museum pond in Wilmington when her show “Dorothy Gillespie:
Reflections” was exhibited at the museum from 2005-06. Paper works in watercolor and ink are displayed under plexiglass. Gillespie poses
with a self-portrait in her New York City studio in 1976.
