AVON PARK –– Mollie Doctrow grew up as a city brat in California. Nature wasn't part of her family picture. They stayed in hotels and never camped out. But from her first outdoor experience with Girl Scouts at 16, she fell in love with nature and became the family oddball. "Something connected and filled this spot inside me, and the more time spent in nature, the more connected I feel," Doctrow remembered. She received her master's in fine arts from California State University in Northridge with a specialty in printmaking. While teaching at Brevard College, she visited a friend in the Sebring area. Doctrow stayed, created artwork and fell in love with the environment. For the past three years she has been the curator at South Florida Community College's MOFAC (Museum of Florida Art and Culture) which is dedicated to the art and artists of Florida whose work interprets Florida history, heritage and the environment. Doctrow contacts artists and schedules shows and events to showcase their work. In addition, she also teaches computer graphics, drawing, printmaking and design at SFCC. ...more
