Dottie Baertschy

"BORN TO PAINT"

Art has been a lifelong passion for me. My mother told me that I had started drawing pictures as soon as I was old enough to sit up and hold a pencil in my hands.

I attended the Hibbing, Minnesota schools where I enjoyed doing pencil portraits of classmates and most of all, movie stars. Marilyn Monroe was and still is my favorite subject and I never tire of painting portraits of her.

I married and moved to the Twin Cities in 1957 and took a short course in Interior Design at the U of M which later led me into doing custom draperies from our home. However, I returned to my passion of art and being self-taught, I began painting and selling oil portraits on commission. After my husband retired, we wintered in Arizona for nine years where I taught some drawing and painting classes and was able to sell my paintings out in ten different states, but “Once a Ranger – always a Ranger” so we recently moved back here and happily settled down. Thank you visiting my online show.
