Dorsey studied fine art at Kent State University under Charles Basham, who left a lasting impression on her work, culminating in a joint exhibition at the Massillon Museum of Art. She won Cleveland Scene’s Best Artist in 2020 and 2018, and Cleveland Magazine’s Best Artist in 2020 and 2019. She earned awards in juried exhibitions including Akron Art Prize, Brecksville Center for the Arts, and National Arts Program. Her work has been exhibited at the Butler Institute of Art and the Riffe Gallery and is included the collections of ARTneo, University Hospitals, CARTA, and the Judson Foundation.
carta owns a large collection of artwork by Cleveland area artists, both for adults and children, and purchases about $25,000 of new art annually. We further our mission by donating annual scholarships to Cleveland Institute of Art students and provide educational activities to enhance awareness of area artists.
