Dagne has been an artist since the day she was born;

    she simply couldn't apply her talents until the dexterity

    of her hands matched the dexterity of her mind.  She

    has lived in Arizona for the majority of her life and

    her work has been enjoyed from coast to coast and

    around the world.  There has always been demand for

    her portraits,  and she has been incredibly prolific

    over the years.  If you spend some time perusing the

    contents of this web site you can get a good idea of the

    size of her oeuvre (although many paintings aren't

    included in this archive) and the nature of her genius

    (although pixellated copies cannot do justice to the

    originals).  Dagne is truly a Master of form,  line, 

    and color.  If you asked her though,  she would probably

    say that she just paints what she sees.    -S. H.
