Dee Pastorious

I have had a love for drawing and painting my whole life. Through the years, and in between working full time, raising four children (and a husband), I painted every chance I got and took art classes at Lakewood Community College in Minnesota. We vacationed every year on Longboat Key, FL. and my dream was to retire there and take classes at the Art Center. And then my dream came true! We moved there in 1993 and I found watercolors.

My favorite subjects are children, the beach, the ocean and Florida’s tropical flora and fauna, all of which are the perfect subjects for watercolor. Working in watercolors is an ongoing learning experience with all the different conditions and techniques one can factor in.

I do commissions of children at the beach and portraits. I have won numerous awards in local and state shows and my paintings hang in private collections in the United States and abroad and can be seen at Island Gallery West, 5368 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach, FL. (941-778-6648.
