Summertime & the Livin’ is Easy

Edwina L. Dorch is a Ph.D. psychologist who lives on a barrier island off the Florida Coast. She is also a contemporary, abstract, minimalist artist who paints female figures and seascapes. Additionally, as an art therapy coach, she believes creating art is a genuine coping mechanism that can facilitate resilience and the ability to recover from setbacks. In other words, selecting and applying paint is a way to manage stress and anxiety, relax, and release pent-up emotions. Her paintings appear in a number of Galleries of Local Artists along the Florida A1A highway.
