Dora was born in Buenos Aires and raised in a family of accomplished musicians and visual artists. Her formal training started at a young age when her aunt, a well-known Argentinean painter, taught her to paint in oils. Though interrupted by family moves to Missouri and Philadelphia, Dora continued her training and entered the Instituto de Bellas Artes Beato Angelico in Buenos Aires, where she received her degree in fine arts and art education.
After graduation, Dora returned to Philadelphia to teach art to grade-school children. The innocence, freshness, and unique quality of children's art inspires her to this day.
Dora co-owned Fun in the Sun summer camp for kids, from 1991 - 2008, where she taught art and served as owner-administrator.
Most recently, Dora has been able to devote herself to being a full-time artist. To that end, she consistently seeks exhibition opportunities while enhancing her studio practice and knowledge of the art business.
Dora Ficher joined Fine Art America on December 20th, 2010.
