Hello! My name is Doris Price and I am a Jazz and Blues
enthusiast. I grew up on a family farm in Sussex County, Delaware. Jazz
and Blues were a part
of my escape from chores and boredom. Pressing against the screen of
my second story bedroom window, hoisted above the growing corn fields,
I
happily drifted off to sleep listening to the strains of music traveling
upstream from the local dance hall. Late high school and early college
years provided me with occasional opportunities to enter that
local dance hall, named "Rosedale", and other jazz settings.
The memory of the magic of the music and its effect on the dancers
still excites me.
Having relatives in at least three so-called racial groups, I grew up determined to present myself as an All-American and do my best to truly relate to all people. My husband and I appreciate the annual Powwows and family re-unions which have taken place literally in our own back yard for the past 26 years. As time passes, my techniques and my subjects may vary but my heart and my art remain partial to Jazz, Blues and Native American images. I am listed in Who's Who in American Art, published in The Best of Acrylic Paintings pub. '96, Rockport Publishers and am in many private collections. I have works in the collections of Apex Museum, Atlanta, GA; Nassau County Museum, Roslyn Harbor, LI, NY; Eastern Washington University,Cheyney, WA; Medgar Evers College, Brooklyn, NY; York College, Queens, NY; and Delaware State University, Dover, DE.
