d.goth was born in Beirut Lebanon to American parents abroad. She was raised in and around the Los Angeles area. She studied  art privately and in colleges and universities in southern California. She developed programs and taught art history, technique and application in public and private schools.
She began her professional artist career in the late 1990's
with the introduction of contemporary frescoes.

"art should evoke and portray the artists fibre, his struggles and his vision. It should elicit a strong emotional response from the viewer, making him consider the palette and brush with which he himself is painted."

                              hearts of stone




                       

Contemporary frescoes are original paintings on porous stone. The stones are broken, mosaic fashion, an image is then determined using the stones properties and what I see in the cracks and breaks. "rorschart". They are mounted on wood.
Hearts of Stone are contemporary frescoes with a heart theme.  They may be broken, multifaceted, subtle, brilliant, mended or in pieces. They may incorporate objects in their desgin. 
Paintings are done in a variety of mediums on numerous surfaces. My new work is done in paint on canvas and wood surfaces.
many of the paintings and contemporary frescoes have poems,haikus or tankas written about the work
