DorothyChurchill-Johnson (1942-2023) was a native of Massachusetts, where she graduated in 1964 from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with a Master of Fine Arts. It was there when she began accumulating top awards for her mural-size contemporary realist oil paintings. Her traditional training in oils remained steadfast throughout her life. She occasionally worked in pen and ink, yet not in acrylic. For over sixty years, Dorothy’s oil paintings have graced the walls of museums and major corporations, luxury hotels, and private collections both nationally and internationally. Some of her most prized and award-winning pieces have been exhibited throughout the world of museums and galleries, including but not limited to LACMA in Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, D.C., Miami, New Orleans, Palm Springs, San Francisco, Canada, Belgium, Mexico, the Philippines, and Russia.
