Dear Friends,
Over the weekend the nephew of one of my mother's friends and collectors in Buffalo contacted me to say his uncle passed away and "in the final months he brought up Dorothy many times". "He loved her work more than any other artist. I just thought that I’d share the memory."
The nephew told me he has approximately 25 pieces of my mother's work. Some in his Buffalo home and many more in his cottage over the border in Canada.
In his email he said "Dorothy’s work has been a large part of my life, and is part of what pushed my initial interest into art as a child. When I was 7 my uncle gave me a small piece of her work, a metal sculpture maybe 8” high that was very colorful. I kept it in my bedroom until I was in college".
He ended his email by saying "I've gotten so many compliments from friends on her work" "I’ve included a picture of one of her pieces from my living room, which has been one of my favorites since I was a child" "I'll look forward to meeting you on your next trip to Buffalo ! I’m so glad that we were able to connect."

On the 43rd anniversary of my mother's Citywide Exhibition in Fort Wayne Indiana, the Fort Wayne Museum of Art "is pleased to present its reinvigorated sculpture court with the opening of Garden Party: Outdoor Sculptures by Dorothy Gillespie."
In 1979 in addition to my mother's exhibition at the FWMA, her art was exhibited at the Lincoln Life Insurance Company, Fort Wayne Public Library, Fort Wayne National Bank and the Community Center for the Performing Arts.
The Citywide exhibition was funded by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts and according to Ann Weinstein in 1979 "this cooperative effort by the Federal, State, and by the public and private sectors was the first of its kind".
