Dorene Ginzler

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Dorene Ginzler began formal art training as a child with many visits to the Detroit Institute of Arts. Dorene continued her studies with discovery explorations in anything she could get her hands on from pottery to painting, attending merit art classes at Interlochen, College for Creative Studies and Cranbrook Academy of Art. Ginzler earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Eastern Michigan University, graduating with honors with majors in painting, sculpture, photography, art history minor, and adjunct studio work in Florence, Italy.

After college, Dorene worked in a myriad of full time “day jobs” to support her passion to create art only part time, and pay back her student loans. She painted houses, murals, canvases, clothing, note cards and signs. Eventually she built a pottery studio producing ceramic arts with glaze recipes of her own, acquiring hundreds of collectors along the way.

Ginzler moved to south Florida in the last decade to focus once again on abstract color theory paintings, on a full time basis. This includes works on paper and canvas using watercolor, acrylic, ink, and oil paints. Inspired by nature and the sea and influenced by a myriad of music and dance, her neo-expressionistic brush strokes are so fresh they still look wet, showing evidence of the artist’s hand as ever present. Dorene’s compositions have a kaleidoscope-like effect using a push-pull of color juxtapositions with contrasting primary and secondary designs. Her work engages the senses to elicit universal truth and infinite illusion so the viewer may see what they wish
