        Justice,” by Barbara Rizza Mellin, The Middlesex Beat, Sept. 2003

The romantic, lush paintings of Dinora Felske Justice are of magical, mystical environments, real and imagined, drawn from her own experience and as well, her inner world.

Dinora’s paintings are being avidly collected since she started showing professionally in September 2002. A native of southern Brazil, born in 1969, Ms. Justice has resided in the Boston area since 2000.
