Dorsey’s goal is to capture the life-essence of her subjects; she accomplishes this by working from original photography of people she may or may not know.  In addition to amalgamating several photos into a single composition, she also studies the color palettes of nature and the sky, taking mental photos of form and color to recreate in the studio.  Her command of tone, value, contrast, and engaging subject matter has created a vast and varied body of work that has a signature style and vibe.
