My Paciano - Il Mio Paciano Exhibition Of The Work Of Dorothy Berry-Lound

October 24th, 2016 - Umbria, Pe

In association with the Comune di Paciano in Umbria, Italy, an exhibition will be taking place of the work of local artist Dorothy Berry-Lound. Dorothy was born in Brighton, England but found a wonderful old farmhouse half way up a mountain near the town of Paciano in Umbria and the rest is history. She now lives permanently in Italy with her husband who is a website designer, two dogs and several cats.

A writer/blogger and artist, Dorothy was approached about the idea of an exhibition owing to a series of local images like 'Pawse for a Drink' that she mentioned in her blog. She was asked to focus on the local influences and inspiration for her work - hence the title of the exhibition, My Paciano - il Mio Paciano.

"It was so exciting to be given this opportunity" says Dorothy. "To be able to show my art locally is wonderful and I have been busy with the translations of the stories for each picture as they will be available in both English and Italian".

Dorothy specialises in photopainting, taking her own photographs and developing them further using digital techniques to create a story. "Each picture has a story" explains Dorothy. "Sometimes it takes a while to see it. The picture framer who worked on the images for the exhibition told me she suddenly found tears springing to her eyes because she had realised what one of the pictures meant. She was referring to an image of a beautiful kitchen window with various brightly coloured objects on the window sill suggesting a happy home - which also shows that it is raining on the inside of the window, not the outside."

The exhibition is being held at the Palazzo Baldeschi in the centre of Paciano and runs from 30 October to 6 January 2017.
