“Lace,” by Bridget Dobson, Acrylic on Canvas, c. 2001

A graduate of Stanford University and one of the first women to attend Harvard Business School, Milwaukee born Bridget Dobson made the transition from writing Emmy award-winning soap operas (General Hospital and Santa Barbara) to spinning fantastical dreamlike tales in oil. Inspired by Matisse, Cezanne and Post-Impressionism, her paintings are both colorful and exuberant. Her painting “Lace” was part of her exhibition in New York at the Walter Wickiser Gallery entitled “Egos and Eros”.
