Featuring Dorothy Englander
The opportunity to speak with other artist/writers is one of the highlights of my job as editor of The Writer’s Eye.
This issue’s interview with featured artist/writer, Dorothy Englander, was no exception. Though she normally resides
in Albany, New York, she spoke to me from Taos, New Mexico, where she is currently immersed in a three-month conclave of artists,
writers, and musicians—a residency grant awarded by the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation. Dorothy said that the constant
association with other creatives generates a rich, synergistic, artistic energy. “It is such a joy to be able to discuss
the creative act with other people, even though they may be in other disciplines.”
Dorothy’s work, in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, drawing, monotype, collage, and digital
imaging, has evolved steadily over the last thirty years. In addition to the residency grant from the Wurlitzer Foundation,
she has won numerous awards and honors for her work, beginning in 1981, when she first began showing her work professionally.

Editor's Notes
As I write this, I am in the throes of last-minute preparation for a trip to Salamanca, Spain as part of a language immersion
program. I feel excited, not only because of this opportunity to finally, truly learn Spanish, but also because of the inherent
opportunities for great stories and images. Art, after all, is born from our life experiences.
This issue of The Writer's Eye Magazine is, as always, an eclectic collection of individual opportunities that have been recorded
through the arts of writing, painting, drawing, photography, and other tactile mediums. From the comedic to the serious, from
the sentimental to the sarcastic, it's all here.
A quick note about Efraim Z. Graves' story, The Fireman. Living in California, as I do, with all the wildfires currently raging
throughout the state, I was tempted to pull the story from publication. It's a story that's almost too close to home. Yet,
it's a good read, and we have to remember that it's fiction. The premise of the story is not, in any way, a reflection
of this magazine's opinion: we greatly appreciate the men and women of paid and volunteer fire departments throughout the
state who brave personal injury to save lives, properties, and the wild. Enuff said.
Happy reading!
