...from the bluegrass state
East Market Street in the 600 block, Louisville, is a busy gallery block. For one special opening reception this past Sunday the student works of Dorothy Ekman were warmly received by a steadily revolving crowd of friends, family and gallery hoppers eager to enjoy the collection of figure studies, portraits and commercial renderings produced in the 1933-34 term while attending the Chicago Art Institute.
At 95 years and still swimming and competing (medal winner in her age class for the last Senior Olympics) Dorothy had no idea she was attending her first one-person gallery show when her daughter Paula transported her to the city for a Sunday drive.
GOOGLE C-J writer Byron Crawford at Courier-Journal for his feature column on Dorothy in 2007 for more bio.
