Allusive Perspectives

    - describes the photography of Dorothy Detlor as she attempts to capture the beauty, exotic nature and variety of this wonderful world. 

 Who I Am . . .

As an artist, I have spent many years photographing landscapes, wildlife as well as still life scenes.  Many of my photographs depict the northwestern United States and Canada; however, I also have traveled extensively across both countries and in Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and China.  I seek to capture the unusual, the reflections, and the mystical quality of the world around me.  My background as a nurse and educator lend sensitivity to my observations of life, places and people. 

I started out as a film photographer but now exclusively use digital equipment, personally managing the entire photographic, printing and framing processes. 

I currently lives in Spokane, Washington, the center of the Inland Northwest region of the United States, although I spend considerable time in northern Idaho as my  husband and I are avid skiers and hikers.

 My Photographs 

Take a look at my photos on the following web pages and consider whether one or more of them would add that special touch to  your home or office.  They are all numbered limited edition prints and are available for sale either framed and matted or matted only.  I use the highest quality photographic paper and  mounting materials.  Matting is either white with a black core or black with a white core - and frames are black metal.  They are also available without matting and I can refer your to a framer that I work with closely.

A number of my pictures also are available printed on canvas, an exciting media that gives the appearance of an oil painting.  For these I use wood frames that fit the picture.  I would love to show you some of them.

Please contact me anytime by telephone or email.  My phone numbers and email address are listed below.  Some of my pictures are on exhibit at Ink to Media Gallery in the Spokane Valley.  Click on this link for the address and directions.  Take a look at them and then get in touch with me to discuss options.

I look forward to talking with and helping you find just the right picture to create the environment you desire.
