"I am not an interior decorator. I
am a messenger."
My name is Dosia McKay and I am a graphic
artist specializing in modern abstract paintings. I use  various media and
techniques. I like watercolors, acrylics, markers, pencils, as
well as digital paint. I am fascinated by color and texture,
freedom and whimsicality, but also by order and classic geometry.
I was was born and raised in Poland during
the last decades of communism. I was drawn to various art forms
since childhood and my formative years were spent studying classical
music and flute performance. Early 1990s brought me to the United
States and opened my eyes to the possibilities I have never considered
before.
I graduated with a degree in Computer Integrated
Drafting and Design and for over 10 years have worked as a technical
illustrator. My drawings grace hundreds of patents issued to
inventors around the United States.
But today I stir away from the mechanical
drawings which are driven by precision and trigonometry. Instead
I venture out into the world of the imagination and abstraction.
My visual artwork consists of acrylics, watercolors, and digitally
created images.
I create my pieces in a very intuitive
and introspective way. I don't like to limit myself to any particular
format, technique, or current trends in the world of art. The
common denominator to all of my pieces is the capturing of a
particular emotion or an idea often summarized in the title of
the piece. My abstract paintings tend to resonate with people's
imagination and touch them on a personal level when they identify
with the emotions portrayed in the paintings. They are personal
"epiphanies".
