“In a Galaxy Far, Far Away,” acrylic, Christine Dozier

The exhibit of works by Christine Dozier, called “Colorful Pleasures,” opened earlier this week at the Ocala International Airport at 1770 S.W. 60^th Ave., Suite 600.

Dozier, who is originally from Memphis, Tennessee, now lives in Ocala. She studied art at the Memphis College of Art, University of Memphis. She worked as a behavioral health nurse for more than 20 years.

“Clearing #1″ by Julijana Donovska Prest

In the 1980s, she worked in watercolors before moving into oils and acrylics a decade later. She enjoys painting landscapes, abstracts, still life, animals and pet portraits. Many of her paintings are to private collections and hang in corporate offices throughout the United States.

A collection of Dozier’s paintings also can be seen at the Gallery B Art Gallery in downtown Ocala.
