Jonah’s Dream Deborah LaFogg Docherty
Deborah LaFogg Docherty’s art com- bines her passions for nature and painting. “I strive to give people a glimpse of how animals live in the wild—where they live, court, raise their young and survive,” she says. “I paint a picture of a secret world that many never get a chance to see firsthand.” Docherty’s cover painting, Jonah’s
Dream, was inspired by the true tale of two Florida fishermen that split open a fish’s stomach and found an infant sea turtle inside. Docherty had the chance to meet the turtle, named Jonah, while it was being rehabilitated at a local marine center. The artist paints in acrylics, oils and pastels, her medium for this piece. Her paintings inspire other artists to try pastels and neophytes to tap into their creativity. “For me, art is all about hav- ing fun,” Docherty says. Docherty attended Paier College
of Art, in her home state of Connecticut, majoring in illustration and commercial art. After moving to South Florida more than 30 years ago, she joined the Sun- Sentinel, first as a writer and cartoonist, and now designs special sections. Docherty lives with her husband and four cats in Boynton Beach, Florida.
