D
ulcie Dee, a native New
Yorker excelled as an art major at Fiorello La Guardia H.S. of Music and the
Arts. Her passion for drawing escalated when she won 1st prize for the NYC
Anti-Drug Abuse poster contest that inspired her to pursue the arts as her
life career.
She traveled extensively
throughout Southeast Asia and fell in love with snorkeling in the
Philippines. She discovered the unique underwater world of their coral
reefs. Mesmerized by the beauty she intimately experienced the incredible
color range of their marine life. Her “Marine Dreams” series premiered at
the Hiraya Gallery in Manila capturing her joyful discovery of this rapidly
eroding Philippine eco-treasure.
International reviews in
popular magazines such as ‘Asiaweek’, ‘Taipan’, ‘Filipinas’
and ‘Transpacific’ featured Dee's efforts to alert the public to the
conservation of its delicate coral reefs. Her work is a Zen fusion
of East and West. Each painting pulsates with rich, vibrant, tropical
colors painted with clarity, precision and with a free-flowing sense of
subject, shade and color. Just as entrancing as her seascapes are her enigmatic paintings of
lovely, demure yet sensuous Geishas revealing the erotic sensuality of the
female body.
