-Doloris Pederson
Doloris came to realize she could incorporate her love for the outdoors with her passion for painting landscapes on location. For over 40 years, she painted the landscapes of Southern California. After returning to her native Kansas, she was again surrounded by her childhood wheat fields, oil wells, cattle and horses grazing, the Smoky Hill River, and The Wetlands. All of which provide endless inspiration to paint. "Now, changing seasons, diverse species of plants and animals, migrating birds, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and the prairie give a familiar voice to my expression," said Pederson.
The Hadley Art Collection includes nearly a dozen of her pieces.
