Bethany Richards Dority

I’m an artist based in Northern New Mexico with a variety of interests but with a constant draw toward vibrancy and fantasy. My most recent work focuses on capturing the psychedelic and mystic wonder of the high desert using a reverse glass painting technique. When I don’t have my head in the wildflowers and clouds I use it to practice medicine as a hospitalist physician.

  • Sunflowers, coneflowers, & cosmos, oh my...

    During the early spring and summer, gardens across Northern New Mexico are alive with sweet floral aromas, bright colors, and the buzz of precious pollinators.

  • Enchanting Landscapes

    For this style of painting, I start with the details. From there, I layer on more colors and depth with acrylic paint.

  • Other Projects

    There’s no limit to what influences my use of materials. Some of my earlier pieces include a range of styles and modalities, with my signature approach that never shies away from color and vibrancy.
