Bio

Dorothy Yezerski taught at Riverdale Elementary School in Portland in 1954 and Pacific University in Forest Grove from 1958-1962. She also taught children's classes at the Museum Art School. Her penchant for painting landscape scenes as viewed from above allowed her to take advantage of the colors and patterns that exist in nature. Portland Art Museum's Rental Sales Gallery has represented her.
