Paint Sausalito is proud to display Dorallen Davis’ art work in a Tribute to her leadership in the Colorist Plein Air Movement.

Dorallen Davis is an impressionist landscape/figurative painter based in Marin County. She was the Director and Owner of the renowned Marin Art School, instructing students in the colorist/impressionist tradition. Dorallen is also a founding member of Colorists of California.

She is well known for her plein air paintings in the colorist tradition, and widely collected and exhibited in many Northern California fine art galleries.

“I want to capture the moment, the atmosphere, the wind, and what it is that takes my breath away when I experience that first glimmer of light on the water next to the land. What I truly love is to paint from life, landscape

en plein air, figure or studio portrait, and still life in natural light.”

Being born and raised in Marin County has left an indelible impression on me that remains always in my mind’s eye.”
