Doolin's large scale paintings of up-close organic forms allow viewers to examine flora and fauna from a new, often more intimate, perspective. These works emphasize the sensuality and mathematical design nature employs to create the things of beauty she creates.
Doolin's current passion was inspired by his philosophical take on the relevance of nature in our visual and spiritual lives. Plant life and seashells are motifs of microcosms, which lend themselves generously to painting. The surfaces become bold landscapes of subtle and sexy curvature.
