"I have to paint, it's like breathing." This perfeclty encapsulates how we as artist feel no matter the art. Amazing!

Because when inspiration flows like spirit through us it is what gives us life. We are part of the universe and as long as we keep appreciating, seeking joy and calling on inspiration and growing through creativity there is no reason for decline. 💖

I'm a filmmaker, but right after graduating, in the middle of shooting my first feature length documentary, I had a baby, then another, moved a country and for a few other reasons became a stay at home mom. I'm editing meaningless advertisements for a living now, when my kids are in kindergarten 12 hours a week, or late at night when my family sleeps.. A few weeks ago I had a job which had a more artistic approach and working on it felt like I came to the surface after being underwater for years. I feel perfectly healthy apart from being tired all the time, but I just learned that I have cancer. I think it could develop because I didn't breathe. Now I will.

Why does nature do it better..,

I wish that media, instead of focusing on beauty products they would show ladies like this one. Is they anything more rejuvenating like this?? She is a true inspiration! Thank you for this video 🙏

I'm 66. I look in the mirror and think "Who the hell is that?" then I laugh. Age is to remind us of the absurdity of our egos... it's still me in there. I have to embrace the change. I never worried about aging until, suddenly... I looked different. I don't look like 'me.' But as an Artist... Oh! What a blessing to be an Artist, so as to have something important to be obsessed with, rather than how I look!!! I LOVE what YOU wrote!

I think that women, that we are at our peak, the most beautiful and vibrant, in our 40s! I hope you are living this and loving your 40s! It is a special time because YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, finally!

I know exactly what you mean. The Universe Knows what We Need to see, hear, touch ,or FIND. KEEP Exploring!

93 and still active, creative, and living life!! A true inspiration, a beautiful life, wonderful. ❤

Dorothea is exactly who I needed to meet today. Wow. She is incredible.

How wonderful..this woman has found her purpose and never let it go…I’m a 76 year old woman, have been drawing my whole life…I stopped to raise children, work professionally after a divorce but picked up my drawing and painting tools as I got older…now it’s what I do. What a blessing.

i think we would all be so lucky to retain our mental acuity and fine motor skills at that age.

“Why does nature do it better?” “While I work I’m not thinking, I’m doing” Omg I’m so glad I stumbled across this video tonight! She’s so lovely and inspiring!

"It makes me feel like I'm part of the universe" That really gave me pleasure, as I realize I have been star gazing, for inspiration lately. What a wonderful soul, and kind to share here art.

I love this woman! Protect her soul and legacy at all costs! I wish I could meet her and just be in her energy ♥

You are such an inspiration Dorothea, thank you for sharing with us. Painting brings me so much joy.

Wow..she said so much in three minutes. We come from creation…what we create is up to us!❤

“No paint, no life “ summed up perfectly at 93…how inspiring. Me too

At 74 this was so inspiring! Hi from New Zealand!

What an absolutely stunning and jaw-dropping space. It has a great owner.

It makes me feel like my life is part of the Universe ..I felt that deep and totally agree .

Short and sweet. Rockburne seems so aware of her presence in the art world and also appreciative of what it has given her and what she gave the art world. And btw, after college I began work in NYC in the 80s and even then some of these raw work lofts were occupied by artists. I remember being invited to a loft in SoHo where a friend lived with her artist parents. Coming from the suburbs it felt like I had gone to Oz. Of course now just pricey "luxury" residences...

Yes what a loss. The bohemian thing has all but vanished from cities, along with magazine stands and quirky little shops. The space this woman has is gorgeous.

Thank you. I'm 64. From Italy. I Paint since little and lately i find all excuses not to do what i love the most. Thank you fir your inspirational words. I hope to find my way into painting again with your inspiring Life. Thank you from my heart

I’m 40 and think about getting back to it everyday but feeling lost in this chaos that is the now. Sometimes it’s like that for years or even a decade . But I do feel the need to give the gift it’s time on earth . What a shame to keep it hidden in the drawers of our mind . 😭

Dear Dorothea! ❤️Thank you for your Inspiration! I am 62 years and Hope, that I will paint some more years… for me its having quit playful dialog with God. ❤

The production quality is off the charts. I love the look of this, the halation and the softness. It looks comfortingly analog. And what an amazing space.

What a beauty and such an inspiration!...I love her energy😍❤

I just started drawing and creating after after 40 years! I haven’t stopped in 2 years but I often think about the time I lost and how much better I would have been, or where I would have been if I hadn’t stopped. I’m 60 now and just pray that my physical and mental health will allow me to reach my 90s and make up for lost time. Inspiring video

You CERTAINLY ARE an INSPIRATION !!

This film glosses over what could have been a great insight into a life long working practice. The saccharine music is really off putting too. Will definitely look into her work.

Hello Josh, it's a good thing that I went to your website or I would not have found this video. It's another inspirational video about a person in the 90+ bracket. I LOVE it. As I said in another video, I hope that you will explore more of the 90+ years culture of people who live their lives to the fullest. We need it. As a mature adult, I am just falling in love with painting, just beginning to grow the talent. Thank you. Eve

Wonderful video she is very cool. I am an artist too and a similar thing happened to me in elementary school, the teacher held up my painting of an ice-skating rink with trees, buildings, clouds and people wearing scarves and hats and mittens and in all different directions in skating poses, some were holding hands and some were on their butt because they had just fallen and she held it up to the class and said "Look at all the details and excitement, can't you just imagine yourselves in this scene? Antonia's a real artist in the making!" and I remember the class ooing and ahing and looking at me like I was special. I never wanted that feeling to end I'm 61 years old now and I am in my studio right now typing this :) Nver quit creating.

The gorgeous light coming in from Dorothea’s space. Is this Broome Street in Soho?

So beautiful thank you for this video…. And I wanted to see more … haha …your space is amazing! At 63 I go into my studio every day and do some thing. This is so inspiring for me to just keep creating art ❤

Amazing lovely works of Art, such colours and forms, and technique, you have found something very special, so thanks for sharing it with us. My mom is (still very much here in spirit) also an artist, and worked until she was 85, she also loved colour, form, space made abstract and figurative often together.

The name of this video caught my attention, but her art studio is absolutely fabulous.

"Why does nature do it better?" I love that beautiful question

Lovely, thank you for sharing

Stunningly v beautiful ❤️

The artist as the art.

Wow wow wow. So grateful to listen to your words. For sure I have so much to learn from people like you. Enjoy your art and Life. Wow wow wow👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You are an inspiration to male artists like myself as well.

Fantastic documentary. Nice one. Love your channel

Music competing with dialogue. Lovely video, thanks

Thank you

I so understand that statement I have to paint as it is tantamount to breathing !!

Beautifully inspiring. Thank you deeply ❤

Beautiful video and great artist! More of this inspiration!

you are an inspiration to us for sho, love that you are still painting....

Incredible ❤

I don't think when I paint I said that to my daughter today cause we have talked about art as therapy I can't think and paint at the same time and I love that

A wonderful and inspiring lady who is living her life the way she wants too. Love the studio/loft, l would definitely enjoy working and living there as well. A beautiful video. 😊
