Doylene H. Land attributes her love for wide-open spaces to her lifelong residence in West Texas. The region’s desert landscape, expansive sky, and ever-changing clouds have captivated her since childhood, with the flat, stark horizon holding a special fascination for her. This linear horizon frequently appears in her oil paintings, where she blends cherished everyday objects with natural elements to create personal visual narratives. She is most known for her oil paintings as well as her installation art, which feature her ancestral influences that have affected her life as an artist.
