Here is what Barbara Bassett of Arts & Entertainment Magazine, has to say about Dorise's drawings: "In fresh, sensitive line drawings and earthy, witty sculptures, Dorise Ford's work displays two major motifs, humor and generosity. There is an exuberant generosity of shape and space in her line drawing: the subject is often a generously-endowed woman with an obvious joie de vivre. Her line informs, intrigues, reveals, suggests, always involving the viewer in a joyful relationship with the text. Her use of color is restrained, but explicit. Using an economy of line, she brings to life a variety of characters in diverse moods. Each distinct personality seems to reflect some immediately recognizable inner vision."


Ford is a perfectionist who says she often does thirty or forty drawings, just to get a good one.
