Interests and Personality
| Biography | As a professional graphic designer and artist, Doranne Alden's preferred painting medium is watercolour. She enjoys working on various subjects and is mostly inspired by the colour of the composition rather than the subject matter itself. She was born in 1963 on the island of Malta and moved to Germany in 1996 and lived there for almost 7 years. She studied Art for a number of years at the Polytechnic School in Malta and also took various short courses in Graphic Design and Interior Design. Her work experience spans several years with various advertising agencies and eventually, before moving overseas, she ran her own advertising company. During the years spent in Germany, she held drawing and watercolour classes for adults.
In 2006 Dora, won first prize in the Watercolour Section in a competition organised by the Society of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce, in Malta.
As a graphic designer Dora has published photographic calendars, posters and postcards on Malta. |

| Music | Nick Harper, Adrian Legg, Phil Collins and Genesis, Eagles, Al di Miola, Paco de Lucia, James Taylor, Tommy Emmanuel anything that I can paint along to and inspires my soul. |
| Films | Pan's Labyrinth is one of my favourites. The script was especially well written even though I read it in subtitles as the film is in Spanish. Kingdom of Heaven, Stardust, August Rush, Ladies in Lavender. |
| Television | Not much unless there's something interesting about design etc. |
| Books | Art, Art History, Architecture, you name it. |
| Heroes | Anyone who can be true to God, and to their commitments in Life.
My inspiration comes from the Impressionists, especially Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida |
